Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has defended Jesse Lingard's dismal Manchester United form after he was substituted before the hour mark against Crystal Palace.
Lingard, 26, made way for 17-year-old Mason Greenwood on 51 minutes and a number of United supporters sardonically cheered his removal in the 2-1 defeat at Old Trafford.
Although Lingard's place in the line-up for Saturday's game at Southampton appears to be in jeopardy, Lingard was not criticised by his manager.
"No," Solskjaer replied when asked if he had any concerns about Lingard's form. "We stick together and Jesse's not scored any goals in the last three games, no, but he's been a big part of our team and will continue being an important part.
"The energy he gives us is lively, but we felt Mason had to come on and create something and we'll see more of Mason."

If Ole is saying that Lingard is playing good then Ole is as trashy as Lingard or even trashiest

solksjaer you are just a baby coach that's why you don't see lindgard is only an average player. also you allowed three good players fellani Herrera and lukaku to leave the team and also you never found players to 'replace them. why was Bruno not purchased. is your actual attackers better than lukaku. bullshit. go and learn more about coaching form the likes of mourinoh klopp guardiola pochetino Santo and roy Hudson . leave the team or get sacked coz your team is worst than mourinoh's team even when you have bought Maguire bissaka and James. coz you are manager who is poor inttactics. you can't play hit and run football. solksjaer should be sacked.

Playing lingard over Fred and Perriera and playing James on the right just to make space for misfiring rashford is pure rasism from ole
