"I wanted to go on loan in January, because I wasn't playing - again - and Newcastle was on the cards," said Jesse Lingard on the Diary of a CEO podcast.
"The deal was done and everything, but obviously the United squad wasn't big enough.
"So, they let a couple of players go out on loan, but when it came to me, John Murtough rang and said "No, you're not going on loan."
The former Manchester United man continued: "I was like, 'Well, he's gone on loan - let me go and enjoy my football as I'm not playing here.' He asked 'What do you want, days off?' and I said 'No, I just want to go and play football.'
"So, then they stopped the loan - I was p***ed - and when he said 'Did I want days off?', so I messaged him and said 'I am going to take two days off now, just because you said that'.
"Then they put out 'Jesse's asked for two days off in the media', I was like 'what?' I went on Twitter straight away and put the facts out there."
Lingard did struggle to make regular appearances towards the end of his stay at Old Trafford.
However, that was mostly down to his own poor form and troubles off the pitch that hampered his fitness both mentally and physically.
He left the club as a free agent in 2022 to join Nottingham Forest.
