Recently, "Manchester United" footballer Jesse Lingard, who has received a lot of criticism from team fans and football experts, found himself in an unpleasant situation in the summer when he shared a video from his vacation on his social media account.
The content of the video did not impress neither the team fans nor the club management. The video clearly shows messy rooms of J. Lingard and Marcus Rashford, with many uncensored words and gestures being used.
Due to this content on his social media, the 26-year-old Englishman received a warning from Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, but the player himself admitted that he thought his career at "Man Utd" was over.
"I can honestly say it was a mistake and this video became publicly accessible. I have a lot of young followers, so I would never intentionally post such content. I just wanted to send the video to a few friends.
Upon boarding the plane, I received a message from a club representative instructing me to remove the video. I was very scared when I realized what I had actually done. I thought my career at "Man Utd" was over.
I was told that the coach was very unhappy with my behavior, but I couldn't do anything during the flight. Upon return, I went to apologize and was warned that this was my last chance," Lingard told "Daily Mail."
Having experienced a difficult start to the season, the Englishman constantly received support from O. G. Solskjaer, who recently revealed that his player was facing problems beyond the field.
It turned out that J. Lingard's mother is experiencing health problems, so he has to take care of his brother and sister. In addition, the footballer's grandfather is battling cancer, and his grandmother also has serious health issues.
The Englishman revealed that he decided to share his problems with the coach, who supported him during the most difficult moments.
"Recently, I have not been playing well, and Solskjaer has been demanding more from me. I decided to reveal to the coach what doesn't give me peace in my personal life.
I am a person who likes to deal with his own problems, but that is not always the best solution. Solskjaer told me everything would be fine. Maybe I just needed someone to say these words to me. The coach told me he wants to see my good side, so I hope I can give it to him," added J. Lingard.
