London - Jesse Lingard has disputed Ralf Rangnick's claim that he requested time off to help clear his head after Manchester United blocked his move away from the club during the January transfer window.
El cierre del mercado de fichajes de invierno ha supuesto un terremoto en el viejo continente, con grandes equipos irmando refuerzos que les pueden suponer un paso al frante entre todas las potencias. Dusan Vlahovic, rumbo a la Juventus, y Luis Díaz, nuevo jugador del Liverpool, revolotearán con total certeza la máxima competición continental. En Champions, el Villarreal contará con el flamante Lo Celso. El Atlético, con sus refuerzos Mandava y Daniel Wass. También se ha reforzado el Barça, aunque tuvo que descartar a Dani Alves. Y el Sevilla, que descarta a Suso y Lamela como lesionados de larga duración.. :
Lingard has disputed Ralf Rangnick's claim that he requested time off to help clear his head after Manchester United blocked his move away from the club during the January transfer window. Newcastle, West Ham where he excelled on loan last season and Tottenham were among the suitors for the 29-year-old, who is out of contract at the end of the season, but United decided to keep him at Old Trafford. Rangnick revealed on Thursday that the frustrated England midfielder had been granted a short leave of absence and would miss Friday's FA Cup fourth-round tie against Middlesbrough. But Lingard said it was the club's decision to grant him time away and that he was ready to play if called upon. "The club advised me to have time off due to personal reasons!" he tweeted. "But my headspace is clear and I'll always be professional when called upon and give 100 percent."
