WORLD CUP: Why We Love Jesse Lingard

A firm favourite of Gareth Southgate, right back from their time together with England U21s when the Manchester United livewire was a regular in midfield for the Young Lions.

Capable of running at the opposition with the ball and equally dangerous if presented with a shooting opportunity, Lingard has shown patience and commitment in his development on the way to becoming a first-team player with both club and country.

Something of a lucky charm on England’s home patch of Wembley, where he’s scored memorable goals for United, the winner in the 2016 FA Cup Final and in the 2017 EFL Cup Final win over Southampton, in particular.
