People do hate him. He is blamed even when he isn't at fault. He is always an easy target. People had the audacity to call him a "championship player". They know nothing about football. Some of the comments about him did become personal which is a disgrace.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.

Yeah that's why he was deemed surplus to requirements at Everton. No chance in hell I would want him here as a squad player ffs. If you rate him then good for you, I don't.
What a horrible thread title for a kid who has come through the ranks as one of our own , this forum is just beyond belief at times !
I brought out Cleverley because of the manner that people direct towards him while he was a Utd player. They boo him during matches, raise social media campaign to stop him from playing for England. These are all personal attack for a Utd player who did nothing wrong as a squad player, but in fact gave all he can, as good as he can, as a squad player.
I see Lingard also giving 100% but he is now getting unfair criticism, someone even critical of his wage. Players should only be criticised for their attitude, not ability. If a manager pick a player that is because he trust him for his contribution.
Yeah by a very small minority which are easily ignored. Didn't even know Cleverley was ever booed, to be honest.
Of course a player can be criticised because of their ability? I mean, why not? In all walks of life people will be criticised for their work and their ability to do it, it's life. Anyway, Lingard is on a good run and now would be a crazy time to criticise him.
Used all our quick attacking players except him
No lingard no party

He is a key player for us now. Bloody shit our football become so much worse without him though or that type of player. I thought Mkhitaryan played well near the end in spells. No idea why Mourinho is not using them more.
If Lingard is now a 'key player' for Manchester United, then that sums it all up really.
Can't question his effort on the pitch, but if that is the main reason for his inclusion in the team, then half of the Stretford End faithful could fill the other positions.

Well that’s decking nonsense
I suspect Jesse was reading this thread. He’s been red hot since some GB lovin
He did well when he came on but he really should have bagged a hat-trick. The chance he missed was very much easier to score than the chances he scored from.
He’s currently better than Rashford and that’s a massive improvement. I never thought this was ever going to happen when Rashford emerged. Hard work is paying dividends for Jesse at the moment.
The evidence that fans are never satisfied.
Bloody hell man, he almost single handedly rescued today!
If he got a hat trick and Burnley scored 3 I swear people would still say he should have done better.

No almost, he did.
Surely there’s no more hatin of Jesse. He’s our best player at the moment
Nah, rescue would have been a win. He did an amazing job though. 100% props to Lingard atm

Come on, guys
I gave him his credits but that was still a big chance begging to be taken - from 4 yards. He hit straight at the keeper. It’s fine margins like this that is keeping us a dozen points behind City.
Lingard did very well but he should be burying such chances in the box - no excuses.
Yeah there really isn't. There's some that will refuse to admit he's won them over but definitely no 'hate'.
A single goal changes the flow of a game. He scores the 1st opportunity and there's no guarantee he gets a second just a few minutes later.
Still a young player. I have high hopes for him. Should never look back and keep going as one of our best players. Quality player.
Well he rescued what would have been a horrific result. It was still s terrible result but he bailed us out.
He's not young. He's really matured this season though.
Well done, Jesse. Doing well this season.
Anyone can miss a good chance, even the best players in the world. Its what they do after the missed chance I am curious about. Some just lose their shit, while others score two goals. Thats a quality answer from Jesse imo.
Screw anyone who still hates on Lingard. He's our POTY so far maybe tied with Young.
“he scored a double hatrick today but I’m still not sure he’s good enough”At least Lingard hit the post. What did Rashford do? Didn't pass and couldn't take on keeper. And then what happen against Burnley?
He is a very clever player. The amount of time he finds great space and begs for the ball but doesn't get it.....our problem is we have too many safe platers. If Lingard played for City you would see his true worth.
How depressed would you have been at the start of the season if someone told you that by December, our best players so far have been Lingard and Young?
Why would that have any bearing on anything.
Surely if someone told you we were 2nd in the PL, averaging over 2 goals a game, into the CL knockouts top of our group you'd be pretty content with that?
Cleverley was class till he got a bad ankle injury, if I recall correctly. Was never the same after that.
Cleverley played the second half of the Charity shield and the first three games in 11-12 before getting injured against Bolton. He got a lot of praise but the team was really being carried by Anderson - was notable that we scored 5 against Bolton after Cleverley went off. He played a fair bit the following season and was decent but never anything more.
But the previous season...?
On loan at Wigan.
To all those that slated me for saying Dele Alli is no better than Lingrad at the start of the season.......
Lingard might actually be the better of the two

He’s the only attacker who can hold his head up at the moment. Well done Jesse.
Don't particularly rate him but his end product has been pretty good. 9 goals and 4 assists in just 25 appearances (6 of them as a substitute).
Lingard has the heart so few in the squad are showing. He’s not just going through the motions. He has to start when fresh and available.
He’s fecking quality. A proper red.
Jesse is currently our only attacking player who showing the mental strength to put himself into areas that’ll do damage to the opposing team. Not the best of players by any means, but worthy of his place at United.
