Lingard wants to stay at Old Trafford

The England Under-21 international, who scored in
the country's 1-0 win over Sweden at the weekend,
says he intends to remain at Old Trafford for the
2015-16 campaign
Jesse Lingard insists he is ready to fight for his
place at Manchester United next season, despite
rumours of another loan spell away from Old
Trafford.
Newcastle United have been linked with a swoop
for the England Under-21 international, after
Lingard impressed Steve McClaren during his short
stay at Derby County in 2014-15.
But Lingard, who picked up an injury in United's
opening fixture of last season, insists that he
intends to remain at Old Trafford in the hope of
impressing Louis van Gaal.
"I'm looking to stay at Man United and get some
games under my belt there. I'll see what the boss

says when I get back," he told reporters.
"I've always wanted to play for Man United and
that's still my ambition. I was unlucky to get
injured at the start of last season, and I'll never
know where I would be now if I hadn't got that
injury.
"I kept in contact with Louis Van Gaal last season
and spoke to England Under-21 boss Gareth
Southgate a lot. He was guiding me and giving me
confidence."
Lingard scored as England Under-21s defeated
Sweden on Sunday and Lingard hopes that such
goals serve to raise his profile at club level.
"Scoring goals like that can only help," he added.
"It gets your profile up, and other teams see you
as well as Man United. It can only be good for
me."
