Manchester United legend Paul Scholes is angry over the treatment of Jesse Lingard.
Scholes slammed Premier League clubs - including United - for sending good English prospects out on loan to Championship clubs 'at the expense of very average imports'.
He said: "Let's take the example of Jesse Lingard. He's a 21-year-old, Warrington-born Manchester United player who was farmed out on loan to Brighton.
"Last season at United, Lingard went on the pre-season tour, scored goals, and looked really sharp. At that time he was a better prospect, in my mind, than Adnan Januzaj, but he didn't get the chance.
"I'm not questioning the talent of Januzaj, but Lingard, if given the opportunity, could have done well in the first team. With his ability, Lingard deserved to challenge Shinji Kagawa for a place."
