Jesse Lingard gets a lot of stick from the fans, especially on this page, but this is well worth a read for a bit of perspective. Good on him for opening up on the personal stuff – I’d say his form has benefitted recently

The 27-year-old has had to take over the parenting duties of his younger brother and sister Jasper and Daisy-Boo, aged 14 and 11 respectively, due to his mother, Kirsty, being unwell.
The siblings have moved in with Lingard, who also takes care of his own one-year-old daughter.
Jesse Lingard has spent the entire season looking after his daughter, his two under 14 siblings, dealing with his grandad having cancer, mum being so ill she can’t look after her son and grandmother being ill. I don’t care what anyone says, he’s such a strong human.

The situation had been going on for weeks when the player decided to come clean to manager Olé Gunnar Solskjaer about his problems after losing his place in the starting line-up and fearing for his future as a Manchester United player.
‘I wasn’t performing and he was on me all the time…So I felt it was best to get everything off my chest and tell him why my head wasn’t right. So I knocked on his door.’ he told Mail reporter Ian Ladyman.
Jesse Lingard: Man Utd midfielder opens up to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer – It is so easy to forget that professional athletes have normal problems too. Glad that Lindgard opened up and got that emotional support he needed from the coach.

Lingard’s grandfather Ken also has prostate cancer.
The player believes that opening up to Solskjaer was the turning point in his struggle to deal with his personal circumstances. ‘The manager said to me, “Just go on and play with a smile and enjoy it”…He has just told me that everything will be OK. Maybe I just needed someone to say that.’
Hopefully this was the case, and he can start getting back to form. Footballers do have a personal life that affects them, just like anyone else.#MUFC #JesseLingard #Lingard #MentalHealthMatters #Football #PremierLeague #PersonalLives pic.twitter.com/vepjlrdVSr

It seems ironic that a player accused by many fans of being irresponsible and not taking life seriously enough has actually been suffering on the pitch because of having too many responsibilities off it. Most fans have responded sympathetically, but some have been skeptical.
