Manchester United interim boss Ralf Rangnick said on Monday there were no issues between himself and Jesse Lingard, after the two men appeared to be at loggerheads last week over the midfielder’s availability. 

Rangnick said Lingard had asked for time off after failing to secure a loan move while the player himself claimed it was the club that advised him to sit out the match. “With regard to Jesse, I have a good relationship with him. There were no problems whatsoever between myself and Jesse and vice versa,” said the German.
