Jesse Lingard

Jesse Lingard has disputed Ralf Rangnick's claim that he requested time off to help clear his head after Manchester United blocked his move away from the club during the January transfer window.

Rangnick revealed on Thursday that the England midfielder had been granted a short leave. But Lingard said it was the club's decision to grant him time away. "The club advised me to have time off due to personal reasons!"

Lingard tweeted. "But my headspace is clear and I'll always be professional when called upon and give 100 percent," he added.
