Gary Neville calls for Man Utd to "move on" from Jesse Lingard "fuss" amid brother backlash

Gary Neville has hit out at the Jesse Lingard "fuss" insisting finer players than the midfielder haven't got the Manchester United send off they wanted.

The academy graduate opted not to sign a new deal back at the beginning of the season and will now leave the club on a free this summer. Lingard has struggled for minutes throughout the campaign despite showing his quality once more in a loan spell at West Ham United last term. He's continued to be used sporadically by Ralf Rangnick during his interim tenure.

United's final home game of the season saw them beat Brentford 3-0 on Monday night. Lingard was named on the bench, which is where he remained as the three subs were used. It means the 28-year-old will leave Old Trafford without much noise - not that Neville understands the outcry.

He tweeted: "I don’t get the Lingard fuss at all. I saw far better players than him not get a perfect send off. He wants to leave, he wanted a free transfer. He’s got it. Move on."

It comes as Lingard's brother, Louie Scott, took aim at the club for failing to acknowledge the contributions of their player, who has come through the youth system. Lingard has scored the winner in the FA Cup final previously, one of his 35 United goals, and the club were slammed as "classless".

Louie posted on his Instagram story: “20 years of blood sweat and tears, 4 domestic trophies, 3 cup final goals, not even a farewell. No wonder it’s Conference League next year.” He also added: “Attacking players for celebrations when the clubs being sold to the super league ok. Class of 92, Busby Babes, you’re ran by people who don’t even know the offside trap. Classless and the fans need to realise. Goodnight, godbless!"

Rangnick has address such claims,
