Jesse Lingard believes he could have restarted his Manchester United career if he had been trusted after his strong West Ham loan spell. Now a free agent again after leaving FC Seoul, he says the lack of consistent minutes at United forced his eventual exit. Lingard pointed to his 2020-21 West Ham run as proof he merited a bigger role back at Old Trafford, but he was used sparingly the next season and then ran his contract down. He said players can sense when their time is up, even with multiple managers involved.
