Jesse Lingard has dismissed criticism of his off-field antics - but insists he is now back to his best.
Manchester United star Lingard was slammed by club legends Roy Keane and Gary Neville for launching a clothing line ahead of a match with Liverpool .
His JLingz label has proved very popular but many felt it was acting as a distraction with the midfielder's performances suffering.
But he told the Official Manchester United Podcast: "If you came home with me you'd just think I'm boring.
"When the World Cup was on I dropped a couple of pieces and they sold out straight away.
"Ever since then I've carried on doing it.
"I don't do the manufacturing and stuff like that. I think people think I'm doing everything for it.
"They’re like "just concentrate on football". I don't go to the factories, pack them, do you know what I mean?"
Lingard had been out of sorts for United but turned in two stunning back-to-back displays against Tottenham and in the Manchester derby.
And he believes he is now getting back to his best under boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
"I feel good, I feel fit, I feel sharp. I love winning games and playing matches.
"People go through dips in form, it's just about finding the right balance and getting back to your usual self which I have.
"Of course you're frustrated when you're not playing. You've still got to have the right attitude and right mentality when you do go on and try to make an impact. I felt like I did against Sheffield United and from there I've kicked on."
