Manchester United midfielder Jesse Lingard appears to have angered some fans for perhaps having a little too much fun in training ahead of their Europa League clash against Club Brugge tonight.

The 27-year-old appeared to be dancing around the ball alongside teammate Andreas Pereira.

But do footballers need to be serious all of the time? Is the criticism Lingard gets over the top?

In my opinion, no player should be dancing like an idiot when they’re training. Training is serious and maybe if it was taken as seriously as it should, United would be in a better position in the league and searching for less excuses.

Then again, the reality is players all pop jokes and mess around during training. Anybody who has played football at any level knows that.

Here’s how some fans reacted to the clip:
