“At Manchester United I drank to get rid of the pain”

Date:

Jesse Lingard He admitted that he lived through a very painful period in Manchester Utd, a team he left to sign for Nottingham Forest last summer. He admitted that he drinks alcohol regularly to cope with the pressure of fans and his mother’s depression. But in July 2022 he signed for Nottingham Forest and the worst was behind him.

“I tried to forget what was happening to me by drinking, but it made it ten times worse,” he said in a podcast, according to the ‘Daily Mail’. He explained that he completely lost his enthusiasm for football when his career hit its lowest point during the 2019-2020 season. “I drank before I went to bed. Always one last drink. Now I look back and think ‘why did I do that?’ but I need something to take the pain away,” he said.

When her mother was hospitalized, she had to take care of her younger siblings. Jasper, then 15, and sister Daisy-Boo, then 11. “I was exposed to a lot of insults. I had already hit rock bottom and needed to do something. I went through the unknown of those around me, I felt like the world was closing in on me,” said Jesse Lingard.

It got to the point where, despite his efforts to hide his problems from his training colleagues, he had to open up to Solskjaer, then a manager at Old Trafford. “I’m on the field but I don’t want to be on the field, I don’t want to play. I don’t want to leave football, I’ll never leave football, but I need a break. I come to games completely blank.”
