Hey I think he was probably the sexiest player until Mata arrived...

We've been screaming out for a wide playmaker, Mata has been good but he's more of a scorer than a creator, and he doesn't have great ability to beat a man. He's a little predictable out there, I feel.
Lingard is an excellent "glue" player, I would say that's his best trait, moving the ball on in a positive way, always moving into space to provide an outlet.
I personally overlooked Lingard for a few years, and I wasn't alone in thinking Cleverley was better. Few said they thought Lingard was better when Larnell Cole won Reserve player of the year in 2012.

How did he play apart from the goal? Easy to let a goal cloud judgement.
Our best player.
Looked like the only player that was going to cause West Brom any problems. Kept running at them and putting them on the back foot.
Pedro shares a few characteristics with Lingard. Both are very spatially aware on and off the ball, calm finishers, a bit lightweight physically, and lack top level dribbling ability to consistently create their own chances.
Thanks. Not many would have predicted that Lingard would end up ahead of Memphis in the team, but that's how it seems to be now!
Funny that Pedro is being mentioned, I was thinking the same comparison.
Much better today than in his previous appearances.
I'd love it if he makes it but I'm not convinced he will. I hope he proves me wrong.

If I came on as a substitute in the last 2 seconds of a league cup game for Man Utd I'd consider myself as having 'made it.'
Lingard has achieved more than the vast majority of our youth players, although I do know what you mean about 'making it.'
Tracks back, has a great shot, dribbling improving day in day out. Could be a special player, hopefully gets a good a run
Nothing against Memphis, but I absolutely love that Jesse is keeping him out the team.
Really really happy for him. Was beaming when he scored. Great to see a youngster come through and play well. He's definitely making that spot on the wing his own too, after Depay's awful form. Looks a constant threat and willing to run at the opposition, just needs to keep working on his final pass. Also, his movement is really good. Think he will score a decent amount of goals.
Agreed, I would love Memphis to be great for us but I really like when a youth product shows that a price tag and cool youtube highlights package means absolutely nothing.
Not sure if this has been mentioned before, but I have just read that hes the first United player to score from outside of the box in 2015!!
First Premier League goal outside the box since December 2014.
Shit. And there was me thinking you couldn't drag your trawler net of negative agenda posting into such an eminently positive thread. I owe myself a shot.
I don't know how anyone couldn't feel happy after Jesse getting his first goal. Great to see him taking his chance lately, really put me in a good mood tonight!
As someone else said, feeling of pride at seeing him keep Memphis out of the team, strange as that may be

Nice goal today but it's depressing how other club's have much better talents in their squads.
So Pereira's goal in the Carling Cup this season not taken into account ?
Was fantastic today. Much better than vs Moscow (although seems I'm the only one who thought he wasn't good vs them). He's getting confidence. That skill where he got pulled down was mesmerising.
Excellent he's a local lad too!

Agreed wasn't that good against Moscow apart from the assist.
Eh ?
He should have had an assist for Rooney, played in Mata who from that set up our best chance other than our goal.
Set up the goal and was unlucky not to have one himself
And looked a threat besides that all game. He was fairly wasteful in the 1st granted.
What teams in the league have much better talents than us?
Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea, Man City, Southampton, West Ham.......etc etc
eh? Where?
Ok, now list such talents at these clubs.
Is this a geography issue? Liverpool is in Liverpool. Southampton is in Southampton.Man City is in Manchester.The others are in London.
As in where in these sides - and the etcs - is there more talent? Precious diversion, though.
Leicester, we don't have Vardy
He's a livewire, I don't get it when people talk about "making it" at United. He might not be a long term first team player, but I'll be happy to have a player like him coming in from the bench, or starting if the main players are not in form, not everyone will be as good as Messi, but Lingard is a very good player.
Lingard is an excellent option on the wings and as a striker.
He is young and will improve.

100%
And it's players like Lingard who are fans of the club who would be more than happy and keep working hard to maintain that status. Thinking of the likes of Fletcher, Phil Neville, Nicky Butt etc
Great goal but more importantly great game for the lad. Looked a constant threat and always was willing to run at defenders like Martial. Could have had 2-3 goals to be honest but great that he took that goal. That will really give his confident a boost and will go gunning against Watford for another goal. He is doing Memphis what Young did to Di Maria last season. Although hope Memphis gets into his 3rd gear and start putting in performances.
Love it when an academy player makes his name. Hope he can cement his place in that starting 18.

Jesse LADgard
He must be fecking over the moon
Good on him. Never really rated him but he was excellent today, goal was beautiful and he worked his socks off. Great to see them pics of him as a youngster here as well.
He'll get a good run of games now and I hope he takes it. LVG likes him. Very happy for him today.
We have the best collection of young talent in the country; Shaw, Depay, Januzaj, Pereira, Lingard, Martial and even Jones. Ridiculous opinion on your part lad.
Dint want to get overexcited and certainly not comparing their level but his style is like Muller. He's a very clard hard working player who has a bit of everything, so allround. He can dribble, he's fast, he's smart, turns quick, driven to score, can finish, can link up, can assist and plays at lm, cam, rm and could even do a job as 2nd striker I reckon. Just like Blind could do a job everywhere because he's quite allround (bar his physique), I have that with Jesse, the question is rather, to which level will he develop eventually.
Was my favourite youngster when we took three of them on the Asian tour iirc, it was him, Januzaj and Zaha. Jesse was the most clinical one that time, I think he scored the most goals, very happy for him, he's losing the ball a lot sure, but as well working his ass off to get it back, something you don't see from Depay.
Must be a fantastic feeling for him fulfilling his dream of scoring at OT.

Fletcher and Butt were really good midfielders. If Lingard is that good he'll play a ton of games there.
