Saha concerned by Jesse Lingard form and backs Manchester United move for James Maddison

  Former Manchester United player Luis Saha has revealed Jesse Lingard has struggled a lot in the final third, adding that Leicester's James Maddison could be a good addition to the Red Devils squad. Lingard "runs about a lot" to make effort at the club. However, the 27-year-old has spent 12 months without scoring a single game at Old Trafford. The English professional was linked with agent Mino Raiola that might mean the player's future at the club is questionable. Saha is not surprised by the exit rumors. Speaking on the case, he said: "Jesse has a lot of energy and runs about a lot, but where he struggles is that he doesn’t link up the play well enough and struggles with that final product. When I watch him play, I get really frustrated as he does a lot of things well, but his play in the final third isn’t good enough, which is concerning for an attacking midfielder. He has a lot of talent and is a good player but struggles to get himself in the game sometimes and is unable to get himself in the right areas. When Jesse gets into the right positions, things will start clicking for him and he will get goals." United are looking for adding more attacking creativity to the club, and Leicester's James Maddison is considered to be one of the options. Saha thinks the Foxes' player would perfectly fit for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's plan to improve the squad. "I am a big fan of James Maddison. He has great potential and has been performing very well this season. He has good experience in the Premier League now and for him to come to Manchester United would be a big step up for him that he would be able to manage. I would be more confident of his future if Maddison came to United, he has been showing some great things," he added.
