"'You coming out?' No! 'Do you want a drink?' No!" Lingard says as he begins his rant to the camera.
"'This person was saying this about this person', I don't care bro! I don't want to know. No negativity, positive vibes, aura, energy, high vibrations.
"Parties? Nah bro. Done with that, done with that. Alcohol? No thanks. Training? Yep. Gym? Yep. Family? Yep. Football? Yep.
"It's about mindset. You get your mind right, you get your body right. Spiritually, mentally, physically – I'm a beast bro. Beast!"

Fellow former Man Utd star Paul Scholes took aim at him in a comment on Instagram, writing: “Are you just gonna f*ck about in the gym or are you gonna actually play football?”
