Jesse Lingard says he was left angered by a conversation between himself and Manchester United chief John Murtough regarding a loan exit last January.
The 30-year-old, who left Old Trafford in the summer, had requested to be loaned out to Newcastle last January after being offered little game time from Ralf Rangnick. The Reds denied him that request, with Lingard inferring it was on the grounds of ensuring the squad had enough numbers to see out the rest of the season.
Lingard had spent six months on loan at West Ham during the second half of the 2020/21 season and admitted he felt disappointed to have not stayed on before missing out on Gareth Southgate’s England squad for the delayed Euro 2020.
