Jesse Lingard’s brother has reacted to the winger’s absence during Manchester United’s 3-0 win over Brentford. It was the Red Devils’ final home game of the season..

Lingard’s nine-year stay at Old Trafford seems to be coming to an end with his contract expiring this summer. He was selected on the bench for the game against Brentford.

But the 29-year-old was an unused substitute. The likes of Nemanja Matic, Juan Mata and Edinson Cavani were all given their likely Old Trafford send-offs.

Lingard’s brother has reacted angrily on Instagram to the decision not to play the forward, posting (via UtdPlug):

“20 years of blood, sweat and tears, 4 domestic trophies, 3 cup final goals. Not even a farewell.”
He continued:

“No wonder its (UEFA) Conference League next year. Attacking players for celebrations when the club’s being sold to the super league ok. Class of 92, Busby Babes. You’re ran by people who don’t even know the offside trap.”
“Classless and the fans need to realize … Been there since 9 years of age and didn’t even get a send off!!!”
A bitter end to Jesse Lingard’s Manchester United career
Jesse Lingard’s goal against Crystal Palace in the FA Cup final of 2015 brought him into the United picture.

Here is a young forward who has made it all the way through the Manchester United academy and into the senior team set-up. He spent periods out on loan at the likes of Leicester City and Brighton & Hove Albion during the early stages of his career to gain first-team opportunities.
