Jesse Lingard has lived the ultimate dream of a Manchester United fan. He came through the academy, made more than 200 first-team appearances for the club, scored a brilliant winner<\/a> in an FA Cup Final, scored in a League Cup final and won a European trophy with the club. <\/p>\n\n\n

Growing up as a supporter of the Red Devils, Lingard has done most things that a Manchester United<\/a> fan can only imagine in their wildest dreams.<\/p>\n\n\n

But why is there so much toxicity around Jesse Lingard<\/a> amongst Manchester United fans? Yes, he is not the best player in the world but he is a solid footballer who has been a credit to the club\u2019s academy system. Is it any of surprise that he is wanted at clubs in Italy and the Premier League<\/a>?<\/p>\n\n\n

Over the last two years his form has been poor, he has looked visibly short of confidence on the pitch and no, they were not because he posted a couple of stupid videos on social media. <\/p>\n\n\n

If you believe that then you are understanding of football is pretty warped, pick another game. Modern players dancing on social media is akin to players of the older generation having five pints in a pub after a game? Why lionize the latter and deride the former? At least the social media posts are not shortening their careers.<\/p>\n\n\n

The full extent of his personal problems have come to light in recent weeks and it might shock many but it turns out footballers are human beings and they are not immune to mental health issues despite their inflated pay packets.<\/p>\n\n\n

Jesse Lingard\u2019s form is a product of his issues off the pitch and none of it is his fault<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n

Jesse Lingard has opened up<\/a> about his mental health issues and how problems in his family affected his performances on the pitch.<\/p>\n\n\n

Ultimately football is his job and none of us are immune from our personal problems having an effect on our performance in our workplace. It is not any different from footballers. They do try to live in a bubble but it is not always easy for them to remain aloof as ultimately they are humans as well.<\/p>\n\n\n

Lingard has spoken about games passing him by in packed stadiums and the struggle he was having in focusing on his game when everything was not right at home. <\/p>\n\n\n

I hope the Manchester United support staff helped the player through that period as the workplace could become a very lonely place when one is always trying to bottle everything and keeping up the appearance in public.<\/p>\n\n\n

The lockdown came at the right time for him and while still not at his best, Jesse Lingard has looked better since the season restarted in June. He also netted a goal on the final day of the Premier League season.<\/p>\n\n\n

Despite him talking about his issues off the pitch, Lingard still received heavy abuse when he posted a photo on Twitter this week. Some things never change!<\/p>\n\n\n
