Solskjaer tells Lingard to reduce social media activities

Manchester United manager, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has warned Jesse Lingard to reduce his activities on social media.

Lingard didn't score nor provide any assists for United in the English Premier League in 2019. He has also lost his place in England's squad.

According to Solskjaer, Lingard to reduce his activities off-pitch so as to attain the form he's known for.

Solskjaer disclosed this while speaking at a news conference ahead of his side's Carabao Cup semi-final clash with Manchester City.

“Jesse has had his ups and downs as I’ve spoken about before, but against City and Tottenham, they are examples of how important he can be for us.

“We want him back scoring and making assists. No one who runs as much as Jess, he’s a great trigger in the pressing and lively, bubbly character.

“I don’t think you see as much social media from Jesse as you used to. He’s got his head down and working hard and getting back to the Jesse I knew.

“It’s part of being a Man United player, how you come across and it’s important that you do give up yourself in a positive way and it’s football-related.

“I do speak to players about how they portray themselves. I don’t have these social media things but it’s a different generation.”
