Ex-Man Utd star Jesse Lingard branded a 'complete moron' as 'cringe' dancing golfer celebration with FC Seoul fans goes viral

Europa League

Viktoria Plzen

Manchester United

<p>A clip of ex-England international Lingard orchestrating supporters at the end of a positive display from FC Seoul has been posted on social media. It sees the former Manchester United star revving up those in the stands with a <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/how-wayne-rooney-reacted-paul-pogba-jesse-lingard-dancing-instagram-rio-ferdinand-concerned-phone-call-man-utd-legend/blt3ba09daa073ac885" target="_blank">performance that sees him take centre stage</a>.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>As Lingard’s club colleagues watch on behind him, the 31-year-old playmaker <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/jesse-lingard-cheerleader-mode-special-night-ex-man-utd-star-fc-seoul/blt9e5a0aeefc805827" target="_blank">raises the volume of the crowed before then quietening them down</a>. He then proceeds to mimic knocking a golf ball into the group of fans, which completes the routine and allows proper celebrations to begin.</p><center><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Former <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/mufc?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#mufc</a> player Jesse Lingard loving life at South Korean side FC Seoul 🥹🔴 <a href="https://t.co/gtQG3oFJUF">pic.twitter.com/gtQG3oFJUF</a></p>— mufcmpb (@mufcMPB) <a href="https://twitter.com/mufcMPB/status/1866097625214091518?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">December 9, 2024</a></blockquote>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Lingard’s antics in South Korea have not been well received by everybody, with <a href="https://x.com/M05es/status/1866128516045045861" target="_blank">@M05es</a> telling the charismatic midfielder that he is a “complete moron”. <a href="https://x.com/LeahRayAFC/status/1866157637525721108" target="_blank">@LeahRayAFC</a> adds that the elaborate celebration is “so cringe”, while <a href="https://x.com/No1_REVENANT/status/1866109350122848688" target="_blank">@No1_REVENANT</a> suggests that Lingard has “finally found his level”. Another critic, <a href="https://x.com/abdul_tobiloba2/status/1866097757548949671" target="_blank">@abdul_tobiloba2</a>, says: “Dancing. That's all he wanted to do. Just needed an excuse to wear shorts.”</p>

WHAT THE FANS ARE SAYING

<p>While Lingard’s behaviour may not be to everybody’s taste, he is playing with a smile on his face again in the Far East. End product has returned to his game, as <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/video-jesse-lingard-sends-defender-hot-dog-top-corner-ex-man-utd-star-goal-fc-seoul-message-fans/bltedf38498c0f44ad3" target="_blank">goals and assists flow once more</a>, and he is <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/jesse-lingard-treated-rock-star-ex-man-utd-forward-mobbed-fans-south-korea-injury-lack-game-time-fc-seoul/blte85bfd04a738cdba" target="_blank">tied to a two-year contract with Seoul</a> that includes the option for a further 12-month extension.</p>
