This is the point people are trying to highlight for you. He is bang average and any half decent performance is lauded to the hilt.
This is not a new phenomenon, it's happened for years.
Lingard is 26 soon, he's not scored since February, and let's not be too dismissive of United they did actually finish 2nd last season.
He got loads of game time.
Lingard is a very average footballer, Watford/Palace levels at best.
I bet you can't even say what his position is, that's not a dig because he doesn't actually have one. He's a rank average 'Jack of all trades, master of non".
He's 18 months ahead of where Bernardo is currently & at the same stage of his career as De Bruyne was at the start of last season.
Just think about that, he's nearly two full football seasons more 'developed' than Bernardo.
