Gary Neville says Jesse Lingard did not deserve an Old Trafford farewell after he watched two Manchester United favourites, Bryan Robson and Steve Bruce, sent on their way without such treatment. Lingard is about to run down his United contract after 20 years with the club.
Despite that service, the England international was denied an opportunity to wave goodbye to home supporters during the 3-0 win over Brentford last Monday night. It was a decision that prompted his brother, Louie Scott, to hit out at United and Ralf Rangnick, but Neville does not agree with those scathing comments Scott made.
Speaking on the latest episode of The Gary Neville Podcast, he said: "The nonsense over Jesse Lingard, look, Jesse's been at the club a long time, done a good job, but I saw Bryan Robson and Steve Bruce not play in their last games and not get a send-off in cup finals.

"One of them maybe is the greatest captain Manchester United have ever had and other one is one of the greatest and they didn't get that send-off, a farewell from the fans. I'm not quite sure why Jesse Lingard deserves it.
"I was thrown away at West Brom in a toilet. At the end of the day, it doesn't work out, Jesse."
On other summer departures at Old Trafford, Neville said: " A lot of them will leave, their contracts are up, it's the other ones. Well, you can't just kick football players out the club. This idea they think they've got a God given right to get minutes on the pitch the way they've played, all of them.
"Not one of them... David de Gea and [Cristiano] Ronaldo have held their own this season, they've performed well, not one of them other than that can have any complaint
