"Thank God": Manchester United fans react as Jesse Lingard misses training ahead of AZ Alkmaar clash

Manchester United fans have reacted to the news that Jesse Lingard missed training session ahead of the club's Europa League clash against AZ Alkmaar. Lingard didn't train along with the squad preparing for the upcoming match due to his knock injury picked up during Manchester derby on Saturday. A defeat for the Red Devils will mean qualification for the Round of 32 as the Group L leaders. AZ Alkmaar are still unbeaten, having 0 - 0 draw with United earlier this season. The Red Devils' supporters think it would be better for the club without Lingard's presence, as the midfielder is in poor playing form.

Thank God 😅

He's been absent since 26 December 2018, the last time he scored a goal. Needs binning!
