Scholes brands Lingard 'not good enough' and suggests he could leave Man Utd

Paul Scholes has criticised Jesse Lingard after Wednesday's Europa League win over LASK, saying the Manchester United midfielder has not been good enough recently.

That criticism came despite Lingard scoring his side's opener against the Austrian club on a night where Man Utd won 2-1 to seal a spot in the quarter-finals with a 7-1 aggregate victory.

Lingard scored in the 57th minute but was taken out of the match minutes later, a move that Scholes said was telling and may suggest that he could be leaving the club in the off-season.
