Lingard, who joined FC Seoul last month on a two-year deal with an option for a third year, made a brief appearance during the team's 2-0 victory over Jeju United. Despite his relatively short playing time, Lingard's performance drew criticism from Kim, who remarked that the player failed to demonstrate sufficient effort and involvement in the game.
Kim emphasized that Lingard's reputation and past achievements did not exempt him from meeting the expectations of the team. The manager indicated that he would address Lingard's performance directly and work with him to improve his contributions to the team.
Prior to joining FC Seoul, Lingard spent the majority of his career at Manchester United, where he made 232 appearances and scored 35 goals between 2011 and 2022. However, since arriving in Seoul, Lingard has struggled to replicate his previous success on the pitch, prompting public scrutiny from the manager and fans alike.
