Man Utd midfielder Lingard reveals Rio chat over social media behaviour

Published on: 26 March 2017

Manchester United midfielder Jesse Lingard has revealed he's spoken to Rio Ferdinand about his use of social media.

Ferdinand feels the use was a sign that the 24-year-old doesn't quite care enough.

Lingard said: “Fun plays a massive part in anyone's life. At least it should do.

“Not everyone is going to like everything you do, but I'm the type of guy that's always having a joke and messing around – apart from when it comes to the serious stuff.

“I know when my head has to be on the game. You train hard all week, but in your downtime you should be able to relax with your friends and have some fun.

“People pick up on it and are quick to judge, but I've always felt that you can't really judge anyone unless you speak to them face to face or meet them in real life.

“I spoke to Rio about what he said. We had a discussion about it and we're fine. I'm just a happy-go-lucky person who does things that make me happy."
