Jesse Lingard on Manchester United's current struggles

Jesse Lingard recently shared his thoughts about the struggles of his former side, Manchester United. The Old Trafford outfit recorded their worst league finish in the Premier League era as they ended the 2024-25 season in the 15th position.

In an interview with the BBC (via the Sun), Lingard pointed out that Manchester United continued to be one of the biggest clubs in the world despite their recent crisis. He backed head coach Ruben Amorim to turn around the club's fortune, but highlighted how difficult it would be to attract players after failing to qualify for the UEFA Champions League.

"They will always be one of the biggest clubs in the world and fans will support them through thick and thin. It might be a long-term project with Ruben Amorim. He knows what he wants to do.
"It's tough when you're not in the Champions League to attract players so he was relying on winning the Europa League. It's harder to recruit when you're not in the Champions League. It's 100 per cent a factor."

Lingard came through the youth ranks at Old Trafford, making his first-team debut in 2014. In 232 appearances for the club's senior team across 11 seasons, he registered 35 goals and 21 assists.
