Jesse Lingard has responded to critics who claim he, Marcus Rashford, and Paul Pogba "destroyed the culture" at Manchester United.

Lingard's comments came after a fan's post on social media linked him to the club's cultural decline. He asked for clarification on how he contributed to this issue, stating that he and his teammates were simply having fun while playing for a top club. Meanwhile, Rashford has joined Aston Villa on loan after struggling for playing time at United.
