# Manchester United: Fans attack Jesse Lingard after he questioned club’s mentality

**Responding to a piece from the [MEN via the Daily Mail](https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/manchester-united-results-jesse-lingard-17473186), Manchester United supporters were enraged by polarising star Jesse Lingard’s comments over the club’s mentality right now – prompting the fans to go in on the Englishman through Twitter.**

\[freshpress-poll id=”264148″\]

Speaking [exclusively to the Mail](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-7824615/JESSE-LINGARD-EXCLUSIVE-Man-United-need-clinical-win-game.html#), Lingard opened up over the team’s mindset going into games – proposing a theory that maybe the squad think they’ve already won before facing off with a lower table opponent.

Going on to offer a solution to fix this mental lapse, the 27-year-old hinted that they need to keep the consistency and mentality they possessed against the likes of Tottenham and bitter rivals Manchester City – games they [triumphantly won.](https://www.manutd.com/en/matches/fixtures-results)

Following the England international’s verdict on why United appear to drop points against lower opposition sides, supporters on Twitter proceeded to roast Lingard for his comments – perhaps suggesting he needs to reassess himself first.

Here’s what they had to say on social media.
