Manchester United vs Manchester City: Jesse Lingard must be subbed off in derby – according to furious Red Devils fans

JESSE LINGARD was handed a controversial start ahead of Marcus Rashford in the Manchester derby.

Jose Mourinho opted for the home-grown Manchester United winger over England’s latest prodigy, but things haven’t gone exactly to plan.

Fierce rivals Manchester City have taken a 2-1 lead at Old Trafford and United have struggled to contain Pep Guardiola’s men.

But Lingard has been particularly ineffective, and fans are now demanding he is hauled off at half-time for fresh legs.

Taking to Twitter, one fan wrote: “Lingard’s game is done. He doesn’t want the ball anymore. The occasion has got to him and he can’t cope. Pointless keeping him on.”

Another said: “Lingard is genuinely garbage.”

One user observed: “Why throw Lingard into such an important and big game like this when he hasn’t played for like a month?”

Another tweeted: “Seems like we have a player less with Lingard hardly to be seen.”

A final fan concluded: “Wtf has Lingard been doing all game?”
