Former Manchester United teammate Jesse Lingard, currently a free agent, made waves on social media by declaring Lionel Messi the undisputed “GOAT” after Argentina’s 2022 World Cup victory.
Lingard, who played alongside Cristiano Ronaldo during his second spell at United, formed a formidable partnership resulting in one goal across 13 matches. Lingard’s statement ignited fervent debates and established him as an influential voice in football.
In a surprising turn, the Englishman is currently club-less. Spotted training with Inter Miami, alongside Lionel Messi’s impending MLS move. Could this signal a new chapter for Lingard?
He is best known for his Manchester United stint, where he made 232 appearances, scoring 35 goals and providing 21 assists. Fans may recall the unforgettable moment when a young Lingard received a skill lesson from Ronaldo upon his arrival at United in 2003. Lingard’s training hints at a potential MLS venture. Exciting times are ahead.
The departure of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi from European football has created a void, but a rising star, Erling Haaland, is poised to fill it. Haaland took English football by storm, scoring 52 goals and helping Pep Guardiola’s team secure a remarkable treble. With his exceptional talent and achievements, Haaland has captured the imagination of fans worldwide, becoming the talk of the town and the promising new face of European football.
Gundogan said, “Honestly, I didn’t know what to expect when he came here. You see the goals and all the attention that he was getting at Dortmund, and you wonder if he’s going to fit with the group.”
He continued by equating Haaland to Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, saying:
“But when I got to know him, I was so surprised how someone could be that talented and still have the will to be even better every single day. He’s never satisfied. I feel like there are no limits for him. Messi and Ronaldo are the only comparisons for the level he could reach,” an article from sportskeeda.com shared.
Ronaldo and Messi dazzled the world, but as their brilliance dimmed, Haaland and Mbappe rose to ignite a new footballing era. With lightning speed and unrivaled skill, these prodigies will redefine the game, leaving fans awestruck. Brace for an explosive spectacle as they carry the torch of greatness into the future. The legends make way for a new dawn.
