Rangnick speaks on Lingard
Ralf Rangnick has spoken on the Jesse Lingard situation following the FA Cup humbling to Middlesbrough, on which Lingard was not in the squad.
Rangnick had said Lingard asked for some time off to “clear his head”, which Lingard has denied.
Rangnick said: “We were one outfield player less on the team sheet, so why would I have allowed him [Lingard] to have four or five days off, I would have loved to have had him in the squad.”
