Why Jesse Lingard wasn't allowed to leave
Man Utd interim boss Ralf Rangnick has detailed exactly why Jesse Lingard wasn't allowed to leave the club in the summer.
Ahead of tomorrow night's FA Cup clash against Middlesbrough, Ragnick confirmed he was originally allowed to leave, but 'developments' due to the Mason Greenwood situation changed that.
Rangnick also revealed Lingard will not be part of the squad tomorrow after asking for some time off 'to clear his head'.
The German said: "Three weeks ago Jesse didn't want to leave and then he changed his mind.
"I said at the time, if he finds a club and a solution that suits us, we would allow him to leave. With the developments in the last couple of days, things changed.
"On Monday afternoon, the board said they wanted him to stay. We are without a player who has played regularly and also we couldn't get an agreement for any other club."
EPL EPL FT: Arsenal 0-0 Burnley
Arsenal and Burnley finished goalless in their Premier League clash at the Emirates.
That means the Gunners are still without a win in 2022 as they lost to Manchester City in the Prem, got eliminated from the FA Cup by Nottingham Forest and were knocked out of the Carabao Cup after drawing the first and losing the second leg in the semi-finals against Liverpool.
The north Londoners are sixth in the Premier League table with two points separating them from the top four.
The Clarets, on the other hand, are bottom of the table.
