Lingard’s situation is similar to that of Anthony Martial, who Rangnick accused of making himself unavailable for selection ahead of the 2-2 draw with Aston Villa in January. However, the Frenchman later denied the manager’s claims.

What next for Manchester United?
Following their disappointing exit from the FA Cup after losing to Middlesbrough yesterday, Manchester United will return to Premier League action with a clash with Burnley on Tuesday. They will then face Southampton, Brighton and Leeds United in the league.
The Red Devils will also play the first leg of their Champions League Round of 16 clash with Atletico Madrid on February 23. It remains to be seen how they’ll fare in these fixtures.
