Lingard is reportedly considering a move away from Man U if he is not assured of first team opportunities. Sancho wasn't at United last season; Pogba wasn't playing from the left of a front three too and yet, Lingard couldn't force his way into the first team reckoning. Dan James even started ahead of him against Leeds. If he stays Carling Cup, the early rounds of FA Cup and some substitute appearances will be his lot all season. He'll be rotting away on the bench all season.
