PREMIER ACE’S EX ON BEING

THE former girlfriend of Manchester United star Jesse Lingard has blasted him for giving her the boot after he hit the big time.

Emma Hyde claims she put her life on hold for five years to help him when he was an unknown academy player – and even quit the job she loved to nurse him through an injury.

The 28-year-old told pals that after Jesse blew the whistle on their relationship earlier this year she was forced to quit an apartment he had rented for her.

She also claims a luxury motor he gave her vanished and she can no longer get into a Manchester nightclub when Jesse, 23, is there.

Emma told a pal: “To think we were going to get married and I thought Jesse was the one.

“I’ve had the worst time of my life. I can’t believe I wasted so many years only for him to dump me when he hit the big time.”

Emma had hoped for a reconciliation after the player returned from a summer trip to Miami and asked her out again. But after the make- or- break dates he showed her the red card – and things allegedly turned sour.

The pal said: “She’s devastated. The Jesse she met five years ago was a nice, normal person, he wasn’t famous. She can’t believe he could have done something like that to her.”

Jesse and Emma lived together in Bowdon, Cheshire, and he showered her with gifts including a Range Rover Evoque.

Emma later swapped this for a Porsche Cayenne – but last month, the car disappeared.

The pal said: “Emma contacted the police but she was told the car belonged to Jesse and was taken with a key, so there was no theft. She was stunned.”

And Emma has said she struggled to get into a top celebrity spot in Manchester on her birthhday this year. “I’ve been told I can’t go in when Jesse’s there,” ” she told her pal.

“I only got in on my birthdayy as it was the night before Jesse’s’s match, so he wasn’t out.”

But Emma is particularly y angry and hurt that having g supported Jesse before he foundd success, she has since beenn portrayed as a kept WAG.

The friend said: “Emma wantss people to know she’s no gold- digger. She was the one who supported him for years.

“Jesse stayed at Emma’s apartment in Sale, she was an assistant manager at a jewellery shop and paid the bills.

“They only moved to a gated community when Jesse started getting too much attention. People were knocking at the door asking for signed shirts.

“Emma was so proud of himm for doing well, it’s all she everer wanted. She really enjoyed her er job. She had a normal life with h Jesse. They’d go out with friends ds from home. Before he became a
