Manchester United’s attacking midfielder Jesse Lingard calls out to the mentality of his team.
He says that Man United play a match thinking that they are already the winners – and feels that could be a problem.
Although Manchester United have had two straight wins this weeks, they haven’t been perfoming very well in general and in the past. This season, their performance has been more or less inconsistent and rather disappointing to everyone and Lingard feels it’s due to the mindset of the team.
“It’s strange. Maybe it’s a mindset thing. Maybe it’s our mentality going into the match thinking we’ve already won the game,” Lingard told the Daily Mail.
“If we keep the consistency and mentality we had against City and Tottenham, I don’t see why we can’t win every game.
“It seems like our mentality changes. To keep that consistency throughout the rest of the season when we come against the mid-table teams, we need to have the same mentality that we did going into the City and Tottenham game.
“When we start with energy and on the front foot, we’ll cause team problems all day long.”
