"they’re so behind with everything" "it should be a bit more modern": Lingard agrees with Ronaldo on state of United facilities

In a new interview, Jesse Lingard has agreed with Cristiano Ronaldo about the poor state of facilities at Manchester United.

On the DiaryofCEO podcast, the former Red Devil said: "You know what it is, I think they’re so behind with everything.

"You see [Manchester] City’s facilities, you see Tottenham’s facilities when we go there with England and train at Tottenham, like people are miles ahead.

"Even the social side of things and that. I went to them like 2017 about YouTube and doing content, but they’re so behind on everything.

When asked about Ronaldo's criticism of the poor infrastructure at Carrington, Lingard replied: "Yeah, and he left [the first time] years ago!

"You want the best things, especially as United is one of the biggest clubs in the world. You want the best for the best.

"Of course, you want the best food and you want the swimming pool and the jacuzzi and the sauna, which is still there but [it should] be a bit more modern.

"I just want them to get up to date with the new things that are happening, the things that are popping. You’ve got to be relevant, you’ve got to stay relevant."

"Modernise, because you see City’s facilities and you think, ‘Get up to date, catch up a little bit!’ because they’re way behind at the moment."

Lingard left United as a free agent upon the expiry of his contract in 2022 to join Nottingham Forest.

Ronaldo, meanwhile, has also left the club after his Piers Morgan interview, where he stated that not much has changed at United since he left the first time.

The 37-year-old also added that the Glazers do not care about the club, which is not surprising given their lack of investment.
