LINGARD PROUD TO PLAY HIS PART IN VICTORY
Jesse Lingard has always dreamed of playing for Manchester United and the Academy graduate was pleased to make his second senior appearance for the club in front of his family during Saturday’s 3-0 win over Everton in the Barclays Premier League.
The 22-year-old made his first-team debut on the opening day of last season but suffered a serious knee injury in the same game which ruled him out for the majority of Louis van Gaal’s first campaign at Old Trafford.
Lingard impressed during the summer tour of the United States and was handed his first outing of 2015/16 at Goodison Park on Saturday, when he stepped off the bench to replace Juan Mata at half-time. His industrious performance against Everton later earned praise from his manager.
“It was a great win away from home,” Jesse told MUTV. “It was good to bounce back from the Arsenal defeat but we prepared well all week for the game and were ready to start on the front foot.
“It was a good win and obviously it's good to get minutes on the pitch and to take part in helping the team win the game. Whenever the manager wants me to play then I will do a job.
“He just told me to come inside when we had the ball and defend on the inside as well. He told me to watch [Brendan] Galloway’s runs because he was staying high up the pitch in the first half so he wanted me to track his runs in the second half.
“On another day, with the luck of the bounce, I would have scored but that is part and parcel of football. As long as we got the three points, that’s good enough.”
Now that he has made his first appearance of the season, Lingard is hungry for more and hopes to remain in the manager’s plans going forward. “That is my main aim and I have always wanted to play for Man United,” he explained. “To get 45 minutes won’t do me any harm for the next game.
“Quite a few people from my family came down [to Goodison Park]. Obviously I wasn’t sure if I would be involved because I was on the bench but for them to see me on the pitch was a massive honour.”
