Man Utd boss Solskjaer: Lingard unhappy not playing more

Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer admits Jesse Lingard is "unhappy".

For their Champions League win against Villarreal, Lingard came off the bench in the 89th minute and assisted Cristiano Ronaldo's 95th minute winner, sparing his manager's blushes after a run of poor results.

Speaking post-match Solskjaer said: "Jesse is unhappy at not playing more, but you come on and make an impact.

"That's what you do when you're a sub at this level.

"That is what happens at Old Trafford. It has happened so many times before. We had to throw caution to the wind and we got lucky in the end."
