Are Jesse Lingards days numbered at Manc

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho revealed he will be building his squad on tried and trusted players, rather than rough diamonds, hinting that a youth policy will be scraped for more experienced heads.This could be bad news for the likes of Je se Lingard who has struggled for form in 2018 and might not see much playing time next season if new signings are brought in.The 25-year-old has been given a lot of playing time, but hes never nailed down one specific position, instead being moved around at the will of Mourinho.And now the United bo s has a summer transfer window to strengthen Danny Gare Kids Jersey areas he thinks the side are weak in, are Lingards days numbered? Mourinho admits hes opting for experience over youth to challenge for Ryan Oreilly Jersey the titleThe 55-year-old that too many of the United players were mentally weak, suggesting that a squad containing such individuals wont challenge for the title, hence why United finished 19 points adrift of champions Manchester City. It hints that the Red Devils will be signing more tried and tested players, rather than ones in development, as Mourinho is a short-term manager who doesnt care for the long-lasting effects his actions cause.Its why the likes of Kevin de Bruyne and Romelu Lukaku were sold during his time as Chelsea manager, as the pair werent deemed good enough for the first-team and therefore not worth Mourinhos time developing. Its also why Anthony Martial is playing second fiddle to Alexis Sanchez in the United attack, as developing players takes time, while experienced ones can impre s from the off.One look to the United squad and their transfer targets would highlight exactly what direction the manager wants to take the club. The Red Devils have eight played above the Josh Gorges Men Jersey age of 28 and seem to be targeting players near that age too. Tottenham defender Toby Alderweireld is 29 and a for Mourinho, while Alex is 27. Lingard isnt a young player himself at age 25, but hes still developing. However, Mourinho may lose patience with the English international if he isnt impre sing enough on the Jake Mccabe Women Jersey pitch.Does Lingard offer enough to warrant keeping?Lingard rose through the youth ranks to the first-team in 2012 and has gone on to make 131 appearances in all competitions, scoring and creating just 38 goals. The versatile attacking-midfielder contributed a respectable 20 goals in 48 games acro s the board this season, but his form fell apart in 2018.The academy graduate scored just two league goals and made two a sists this year in the Premier League, while failing to contribute at all in the Champions League. Vladimir Sobotka Kids Jersey Lingard lasted a full 90 minutes just once in the top-flight since the turn of the year and might be phased out of the side next season if he cant recapture his form.Its worth noting Lingard was either substituted on or substituted off in 30 of his 33 Premier League appearances, highlighting that hes still somewhat expendable to Mourinho. Hes made the England squad for the World Cup, as recognition for his efforts last season, but who United sign this summer might dictate his Old Trafford future.
