Jesse Lingard embodied the feelings of millions of Manchester United supporters on Tuesday evening, as the Red Devils suffered humiliation at the hands of old foes Liverpool by being thrashed 4-0.
The 29-year-old, who is set to leave club in a matter of weeks when his contract expires and has only appeared nine times under interim manager Ralf Rangnick, came on a substitute just nine minutes in to replace the injured Paul Pogba. While his all-round performance was still below par, Lingard at least showed some semblance of desire in the moments after Liverpool's crucial third goal which wrapped up the one-sided game.
Sprinting to close down Joel Matip, Alisson Becker and Virgil van Dijk - as Liverpool began another move from the back - Lingard was unable to stop the trio and turned around in hope of his teammates helping out. But when his fellow United flops failed to follow his lead, the academy graduate erupted, visibly frustrated with their lack of commitment to avoid further embarrassment.
