Pure product of the Manchester United training center, Jesse Lingard has spent a very large part of his career with the Red Devils. Integrated into the professional team just after the last Champions League won by the Mancunian club, it was at the forefront to attend the slow decrepitude of United. Then he was pointed out by supporters, some of whom did not hesitate to accuse him of having participated in the decline of the whole club. An accusation that also targeted a certain Paul Pogba. Jesse Lingard said a word.
In an interview with Dailymail This Saturday, the one who is playing today in the South Korean club of FC Seoul was questioned about this accusation launched on social networks. A place that he admitted not to really rub shoulders with. “I’m really going to do it anymore, but I saw that and I asked this type of explaining to me. There were nice answers from other Internet users. I love Paul. It is one of my best friends. We talk to each other every day. But I was thinking: 'What was culture in fact?' By being in the first team, you know, it obviously involves knowing how to be in the right place at the right time to do things and things like. But ruin culture? »»
“So is it culture?” »»
Very circumspect in the face of this implication, the English international continued: “We only tried to strengthen it. We responded to success and we smiled and laughed, and we won matches. So that's culture? »» Jesse Lingard and Paul Pogba both left Manchester United in the summer of 2022, free from any contract. The first went to play a year at Nottingham Forest without being able to impose on it. The second joined Juventus for the second time in his career, but the adventure ended in sausage water, between physical seeds, extra-sports problems and suspension following a positive testosterone control.
