Manchester United fans are furious. Coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer sent Cristiano Ronaldo to the bench for a draw and Jesse Lingard came on for him. And it was he who made a significant contribution to the goal that secured Young Boys’ victory.

Jesse Lingard hasn’t been in good form in recent years, but at the start of 2021 he headed on loan to West Ham, where he started to make a name for himself and was one of the best players in his team.

He returned to United in the summer but will now be widely lynched by his team’s fans on social media. What has he done?

He lost his team a game. Literally! It was the fifth minute of stoppage time and the score was tied 1-1.

Lingard received the ball in defence and wanted to send it to goalkeeper David de Gea, but the pass didn’t have enough impact.

Jordan Siebatcheu was first to the ball and he didn’t hesitate to send his team into the lead. What followed was much celebration from the home fans and, in turn, anger from the away fans.

Lingard is in for a tough few days, and he should definitely stay off social media. Just look at what the English footballers who missed penalty kicks in the Euro final went through.
