Gary Neville was “disappointed” that Jesse Lingard did not follow Man Utd’s Dan James on the day of the transfer deadline.
James, who came to the Red Devils from Swansea two and a half years ago. left Old Trafford on Tuesday to Leeds on a £ 25 million transfer.
Man Utd boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is believed to have blocked four exits on the day of the deadline but Lingard was not thought to be, as no club met his winger requirements.
Why didn’t Manchester United hijack Chelsea’s big play?
Lingard gained interest from West Ham after spending a successful stint on loan there last season, but the Manchester evening news revealed yesterday that “No club has managed to exceed United’s £ 25 million value” this summer.
But Neville was frustrated that Lingard couldn’t find a new club this season with the winger likely to be another player in the squad.
Marcel said air sports: “It’s very good for Dan James. It is one of those where this is beneficial to everyone. He came to United and he always gave his best, he was a great threat on the counterattack, but United have a lot of players in those areas.
“It is very important that young players play, and Leeds have always wanted that. They wanted him the first time United put him in his place. It will adapt to the way they play with such speed at Leeds. a large crowd, a club that demands a lot.
“It is good for United to get the money they have given him, and it is good for Dan to continue his career at a good club.
“I am disappointed that Jesse Lingard did not leave. He will play a few games, but I think he had something about West Ham that meant he came in as a really good player and to be a squad player again is disappointing. Sometimes you have to fly out of the nest and go.

Cristiano Ronaldo arrived on the Juventus deadline and Neville believes that Man Utd’s new signing remains a world-class player.
Neville added: ‘I don’t think United will have to adapt too much upon arrival. They have fantastic forwards, good creative players too, with Jadon Sancho wide open, Marcus Rashford, Anthony Martial, Mason Greenwood, they would have a lot of opportunities. for him. has to create.
“I like Edinson Cavani, so the question is, can they play one or the other, or can they play both? Everyone including me expects him to play number nine, but could he play just to the left of Cavani, with Greenwood or Sancho on the right? That would be a guarantee of goals.
“The performance so far, they have really struggled in their two away games, but they have some players who can win a game in the blink of an eye. His disposition and willingness to score goals is better than anyone. The big question is whether it is enough to win the title. I don’t feel like it is, the Premier League is the strongest since the mid-2000s.
“I think for Manchester United he is an incredible addition to their team. United needed a striker, but in terms of his looks he’s almost 28, 29, 30 if you look at him. People will go to see a young Cristiano and think. He used to beat five or six players in wide areas, now he is more efficient.
“If today’s Cristiano Ronaldo were there eight years ago, he would still be labeled a world-class player. His movement in the penalty area, his ability to score goals, his composure in front of goal and his chances still make him become a world-class player. – and away from the hill «.
