Ole Gunnar Solskjaer Opens Up On Jesse Lingard's Future

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer Opens Up On Jesse Lingard's Future

Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer opened up about the future of one of his midfield stars after their 3-2 victory over Liverpool in the FA Cup.

Mason Greenwood, Marcus Rashford and Bruno Fernandes fired the Red Devils past their fierce rivals on Sunday night, setting up a fifth-round tie with West Ham United.

After that match, United manager Solskjaer was questioned about midfielder Jesse Lingard, who has tumbled down the pecking order after a lengthy run of poor form and was left out of the matchday squad altogether for the cup clash against the Reds.

"Jesse trained this morning, he wasn't in the squad," the Norwegian tactician said of the 28-year-old, according to the Daily Mirror.

"So, of course, he wants to play football, we will have to see, and I will sit down with Jesse and make a decision on what we're going to do.

"So far, he's been the ultimate professional, trained well with a small group this morning that were not in squad.

"I will sit down and see if anything comes up. I'm very happy to have him around us as I know he could have played today and done well."

Sheffield United are reportedly interested in Lingard, while clubs in Italy are also said to be keeping an eye on the situation.
