Fed-up Man Utd boss Solskjaer ready to see Lingard sold

Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskajer is ready to see Jesse Lingard sold.

Solskjaer and assistant Mike Phelan were so annoyed by his display in the 3-1 home loss to Manchester City on Tuesday that they hauled him off at half-time.

The manager has publicly protected Lingard during his year-long dip in form.

But after United fell 3-0 behind at half-time against their noisy neighbours, his patience snapped.

It is understood Phelan was particularly vocal about Lingard's inability to follow instructions, says The Sun.

Lingard's contract runs until the end of next season and he is reported to be using agent Mino Raiola, who has caused problems with his handling of Paul Pogba.
