"&copy; AFP via Getty Images Jesse Lingard scored the winner for Manchester United on Sunday &ndash; AFP via Getty Images Manchester United midfielder Jesse Lingard should have left the club this summer as he needs to be playing 40 to 45 games a season, says Gary Neville. The ex-United player and now pundit suggested the England international should find a new club in the next transfer window and he has doubled down on the idea. Lingard, 28, was a substitute for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer&rsquo;s side in their Premier League match against West Ham, who Lingard played for on loan last season, and scored to clinch the game 2-1 on Sunday. It came after Lingard, who has only played 63 minutes across all competitions so far this season, was brought on in their Champions League defeat by Young Boys &ndash; a mistake from the midfielder costing them the match. &ldquo;I still maintain he should&rsquo;ve left, but he will have his moments,&rdquo; Neville said on his Sky Sports podcast. &ldquo;I was happy to see how he bounced back after what happened in Europe in midweek. &ldquo;To bounce back and score the winner is a fantastic moment for him. He&rsquo;s got good character, he&rsquo;s a very good player and I feel he should be playing 40-45 games a season. &ldquo;He won&rsquo;t get that at United in terms of 90-minute starts, but he&rsquo;s one of those players that I do feel United will benefit from having. I just thought for Jesse himself, he should&rsquo;ve left. United could be a better team with someone like Lingard in it.&rdquo; In Lingard&rsquo;s loan spell at the Hammers he scored nine goals in 16 appearances and there were rumours he would make a permanent move to the London side. However, West Ham manager David Moyes has said the deal was nowhere near being finalised. He said: &ldquo;Ole made it quite clear to me early in the transfer window that he wanted to keep him. So I knew pretty early that he would be staying at Manchester United. &ldquo;I was hearing all the stuff, but I had a private conversation with Ole, who made it clear he was staying.&rdquo; From news to politics, travel to sport, culture to climate &ndash; The Independent has a host of free newsletters to suit your interests.
