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.
Or, both were used rather crassly to deflect from the true issues at hand: his attitude and form, both of which were poor for a long time.
There might have been a role for this Lingard. But we had no reason to believe that we’d see this one, primarily because of the two years that preceded it. Sometimes players need a clean break and there is no better evidence of this than Lingard at West Ham.
Neither would I but I could see us going as high as what I've said there.
Also when I said 60mil I was talking in Euro.
But Lingard is worth at least 20m and that would make it 80m for Rice.
He's in better form than any of our attackers 
Really really happy for the lad. He's on fire.
Who knew that loaning out players rather than letting them rot not even making the subs bench could increase their value? Can't believe it took us so long to realise that. Unfortunately I can already see us rejecting £25m bid from West Ham in the summer and offering him a new ridiculous contract.
This doesn't increase his value though.... he's a not wanted United player, United never take advantage of that. £5-8m.
He was decent under Van Gaal. He hardly set the world on fire.
Hundreds of players come through the ranks, how many make it at United? A tiny %.
Lingard has never produced the performance, goals and assists required of a United forward. Lukcy he lasted so long at the club.
Goal aside, he’s been pretty poor vs Arsenal.
That's not true of late whether United wants to keep the player or not if United's Valuation of player is not met they aren't moving we should be getting atleast 10-15 m minimum and that would most probably be Lingard's price tag in summer.
I was thinking this. I haven’t seen him kick a ball for West Ham but the amount of goals he’s getting in fairness, he’s on fireHe's in better form than any of our attackers
Goal and assist.
Can definitely see us doing that. We should take any bids for him, as he's definitely more suited to a smaller PL club. I see us rejecting bids though
£30m easily for him in my opinion
some players need to find the level and west ham at it's current form suits him and he suits their game plan. Nothing wrong with finding your balance
And you just keep throwing players and managers under the bus. Without even considering impact supporters can have.
Nobody said he was good in our shirt. Atleast not last couple of years.
I said this before he left. Would still take him over Dan James.
Its just his fecking contract that has made him more disposable.

Lingard has found his level. The fact is that he’s got a goal and assist today for a team that has thrown away a three goal lead. But because it’s a less pressurised environment, there won’t be any negativity and people will just focus on him as an individual.
80mill player at this rate
Tbf he was more like the United Lingardinho in that second half
He's at his level. I hope he makes the move permanent and hope it works out for him there
Is there a recall clause? Can we do that? I wish!
He’d walk into our team at the moment.

It's actually unfortunate he doesn't have longer on his present deal
Can't see VDB staying.
You mean surely 180.
Great goal. He's more than good enough to have been a squad player here. Another one inexplicably frozen out by Ole.
Imagine the extremely unlikely event that WH make top 4 and we don't. Then Lingard refuses to return because he wants CL football . The servers that host this site will literally melt down.
. The servers that host this site will literally melt down.He is not good enough to play for Manchester United, by any stretch of the imagination.....unless of course you are happy with the team's mediocre results for the last 7 years....
Inexplicably? He was off the boil for 18+ months.
He has got the talent to be a good squad player here but let's not pretend this West Ham form is representative of his recent history with us.
Barca will come calling soon
He barely played for the final 12 months that he was here. Before that he had an absolutely terrible 6 months, and before that he was 'ok'. Not good, but not terrible like he was for the first half of 19/20.
Sell him when his value is high.
No matter how good his form is now, he is still not at that level to win trophies for team. That also can be said for many of our current players.
To be honest I’d rather have Lingard as back up to Fernandes as a 10 (I don’t like Lingard out wide at all) than VDB as VDB looks utterly lost as a 10 and simply doesn’t work for us, we’d most likely get £30 million for VDB so I’d happily move him on.
He really pisses me off. How many chances did he get? Loads and loads. And what did he do with the opportunities? Nothing. Frigging jack. One goal in a million years. Hardly any assists. He is one of ours. Everyone wanted him to establish himself here. But did he? No. Then he goes to another team and all of a sudden he starts playing like a Brazilian superstar. Why? Because he just decided to try for his new club that's why.
Where was he when we needed him? Yeah he had family issues but it has been years since he played well for us.
Now we will get about 10 mill and a bag of nuts and he will play better than he every did here except that one season.

Due to off field issues.
I have no issues with him being moved on though, but his replacement is worse and that just a fact.
