VIDEO: Ian Holloway says Jesse Lingard should be sacked due to ‘obscene’ Snapchat video

Ian Holloway has claimed Manchester United should either sell or sack Jesse Lingard this summer after he posted a video on social media.

In the clip, Lingard does a tour of his holiday apartment in Miami, where he swore and it shows his friend simulating sex with a pillow.

Man Utd boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is expected to contact Lingard to discuss the incident before the squad report back for pre-season training on July 1.

Watch the video that is getting a huge amount of attention for yourself below…

Holloway said on talkSPORT: “When you’re a professional footballer, you’re representing your country every single second of the day.

“He’s been brought up through Sir Alex Ferguson’s regime. He should know how to behave at all times.

“He has videoed this himself and put it on social media himself. So, for me, there’s no way back.

“The manager and his staff have got to sort this out. That is unacceptable from him. I’d put him on the transfer list.

“He has forgotten who he is and what his contract means. In his contract, he will have things saying, ‘You will not bring the club into disrepute.’

“He could be sacked for that.”

Ally McCoist added: “The sad thing is I’m not surprised, I don’t know if any of this nonsense on social media surprises me anymore,” he explained (via talkSPORT).

“I understand totally that social media is a massive part of today’s world, particularly with the younger generation.

“But at the same time, surely you’ve got to show a bit of responsibility and common sense when you’re using it.

“I’m looking at the reaction from Manchester United fans, and they’re worse than angry, they feel completely let down.

“He’s well entitled to go on holiday and have a good time, but why would you put something like that on social media? Does he actually think that’s going to benefit him?

“I don’t think there’s ever been as much of a gulf between the top players and the fans. Young fans are looking for role models — that isn’t a role model.

“Bryan Robson, Roy Keane, Sir Alex Ferguson, imagine them watching that — what are they thinking?”

 

Fans took to social media to give their reaction on that Jesse Lingard video, most agreed with Holloway and McCoist’s views, others thought they did nothing wrong – check out those tweets on the next page.
