A permanent deal for Lingard will leave United on the Losing side
A few months ago, before the January transfer started and ended, Jesse Lingard was the black sheep of the United family and everyone believed it was time to part ways with him.
In a previous post, I had mentioned what was lacking in United's team and asserted that United coach needed to have a grip on the team to nip in the bud the "I HAVE ARRIVED MENTALITY" rocking the United's dressing room especially Martial, Lingard, Pogba,Rashford and even Bruno.
With the January transfer window opened, Lingard was quickly shipped to the low rated West Ham. That was a great degrade for him that brought the reality closer to him of how much his career was over.
Personally,I had no doubt in Lingards ability and skills, but only doubted his commitment to be the right winger United needed and not Sancho.
Today, Lingard has proven beyond reasonable doubts that he's still a world class player if handled the right way.
Ole should find out his kick switch and utilise him more on the right wing were United had craved to fill with Sancho.
The rebirth of Jesse Lingardinho is a plus for United if utilised the right way, but a loss for United if we sell him to West Ham on a permanent basis.

Great article man, my only point here is that Lingardinho needs to play where Bruno plays right now to maintain the same form he has at WHU. He'll not have the same impact on right wing unfortunately, thus we need a specialist there to say the least. Would love to keep Lingz, but only if he can play as a squad player, he will never start regularly with Bruno ahead of him
