Man Utd hero Ince brands Lingard 'diabolical'

Former Manchester United star Paul Ince has hit out at the current squad.

Ince has called out Marcus Rashford, Jesse Lingard, Alexis Sanchez and Anthony Martial for their displays last term as United missed out on the top four.

"You've got Marcus Rashford who scored 11 goals last year and gets a new contract," he told BBC 5Live. "Jesse Lingard was diabolical last year, he really, really was.

"Then there's Alexis Sanchez. They got nothing out of Sanchez whatsoever.

"So as much as we're talking about the defence and Chris Smalling and Harry Maguire, surely we've got to be looking at who's going to be playing up top.

"We need to be looking at that because attacking-wise they're not great.

"Martial? He's a fizzy drink. He pops now and then. One moment he's great, one moment he's not."
