Manchester United legend Gary Neville is "disappointed" Jesse Lingard did not leave the club this summer.

The playmaker was touted to join West Ham United this summer, but Ole Gunnar Solskjaer decided to keep him in his squad.

"I would actually have thought that a couple more players at Manchester United [would have left]. I'm disappointed for Jesse Lingard that he's not left Manchester United,' Neville told Sky Sports News on Wednesday.

"He'll get a few games, he'll get moments on the pitch, he'll contribute, but I think he had something going at West Ham last year that meant Jesse Lingard in his own right was standing up as a really good player.

"To go back to being a squad player again I think, for me, is disappointing. I think you sometimes have to sort of fly the nest and go. I thought he'd already done that with what he did last year.

"So I think there's two or three players that won't get a lot of game time this year that could have joined Dan James and really furthered their careers and got more football."
