But Lingard insisted he and his team mates just tuned out the boo boys, adding: “We have to concentrate on the game. we can’t let the fans influence how we play.
“We have to play the game as we see it at the time, we showed great character to do that in the last game and were unfortunate not to get the result against Southampton but we bounced back against Derby and today against Stoke.
“It has been difficult, but most of us have shown great character to get through the tough stages and as long as we’ve got the fans behind us we’ll come through the storm.”
