So happy for Lingard. A home grown lad from Manchester, who it seems has been waiting for his chance forever, and it looks to have finally come. Really hope he can produce more games like the one against Moscow.

I think he will be a good squad player going foward. I can't see him being one of the starting 11 mainstays beyond January when I think we will do some business. But it's good for him and the club.
This is one aspect I appr LVG for. He has not had any qualms about giving youth players games but it seems to have been lost in all the negativity with the press and our ex players. I have not heard any pundit or ex player mention it or seen a single article praising him.

Doesn't fit with the agenda that we have lost our identity
Don't you know we've lost our identity?
What is find most disheartening, is that our ex players are buying and feeding that mantra.
LvG appreciates his pace and directness on the flank, I think we'll be seeing quite a bit more of him over the next couple of months.
He does seem like the kind of player LVG likes. Young enough to mold into his type of style, good football brain, great movement, 100% effort and a team player.
Jesse never stood out as the top prospect coming through, he was overshadowed by Cleverley, Pogba, Josh King, Will Keane, Larnell Cole even, then Januzaj and Daehli. But Jesse was the glue of those teams, he just never looked like a world beater in any particular area.

Love that.
I think he means Jesé; the Madrid forward.
January bid?

Credit where credit is due he's been quite impressive so far, does look like he can create something too which is something we've been sorely lacking. He's taken his chances in the first time and looked quite a talented player, you can see now why LvG has faith in him.
Man Utd 2:0 West Brom
His off the ball movement has been really impressive.
Classy finish 
Get in!
Lovely goal that. Curled beautifully into the far corner. Well done lad.
Brilliant finish. I was just admiring Lanzini's goal for WHU v Eve. Very similar goals

Chuffed to bits for the lad. Classy finish that.
Good lad.
I was at the game towards the start of last season when he was injured. He was doing well before the injury and had a feeling he would come good.
Lovely instinctive goal. Knew straight away what he was going to do as soon as Brunt headed the ball into his path. Confident strike.
It's a pleasure to be able to see a young talent break into the first team and male the impact he has.
Delighted for him. Academy players like Lingard performing for the first team is one of the enjoyable aspects of supporting United.
Not an easy skill at all that. Stephen Irelandesque
Glad the club was patient with him and gave him a chance.. He and Pereira have both impressed when given the chance.
Lingard was helped by Depay's poor form and Rooney sucking upfront. Got a chance in the last two games and has really turned up

Quality finish, took it to their defense and could have had another, he's played his way into the starting 11.
I still remember some posters in an England forum last summer said he's a Championship level player.Have some of it lads 
Leicester fans still call him League 1/2 player. Oh how I fecking hate Leicester.I still remember some posters in an England forum last summer said he's a Championship level player.Have some of it lads
Deserved that goal. Played his way into the team.
Great finish, won us the game really.
I'm hoping jese's emergence will spur on Depay who has looked a bit disinterested so far.
As it is, very pleased for Lingard. He's been playing very well.

Good game again, great goal and he's always positive with the ball. Definitely the no one option on the left wing now.
Fantastic goal. Hope he can keep the good performances coming.
That was a very natural strike and he made it look easy.
If he'll continue curling ball into the net like Coutinho he should be our 2nd sting after Martial till we boost the attack with some signings but perhaps player is ready for a big challenge. Fingers crossed.

They did the same to Harry Kane I believe
Delighted for him, called him to be a starter ahead of Memphis few weeks back and I am glad van Gaal trusts him. Very likeable player on the pitch, always thinking positively.
Hopefully he builds on this.

Yep, things that I always liked the most about football.Delighted for him. Academy players like Lingard performing for the first team is one of the enjoyable aspects of supporting United.
Credit to Van Gaal for actually giving him a chance, especially in front of a big Summer signing. That breeds confidence knowing that if they play well they'll get a chance. Its one thing that helped Young outlast club record signing Di Maria last season, confidence from the manager . I love this sort of competition, it keeps everyone on their toes.
Superb goal from him. Really happy to see him gained confidence as the game progress. That cheeky dribble in the box was great to see.
This more than anything is the 'United Way' for meDelighted for him. Academy players like Lingard performing for the first team is one of the enjoyable aspects of supporting United.
TBF they seem to have high standards....They did the same to Harry Kane I believe
