Ole Gunnar Solskjaer spoke out on Jesse Lingard's future after leaving him out of Manchester United's FA Cup clash with Liverpool on Sunday.
Lingard has gradually fallen down the squad pecking order at Old Trafford since Solskjaer's appointment as the Red Devils' permanent head coach in March 2019.
The 28-year-old featured in 40 games across all competitions in 2019-20, but most of those appearances came as a substitute and he struggled to even make the bench after returning from lockdown in June.
