David Moyes will surely be making special plans after learning that Jesse Lingard will be in the Manchester United team for the Hammers’ visit to Old Trafford on Wednesday evening.
After his world class strike at the London Stadium the midfielder has been named as a certain starter by his manager for the EFL Cup clash.
Beyond Solskjaer nobody know Lingard’s game better than the Hammers boss and he will be doing his utmost to ensure there are no repeats.
It almost seemed an inevitability that the 28 year old would do something special against us on Sunday and so it proved before a dramatic end to the game which could easily have given us a point but for the missed spot kick.
Now we head back for a confrontation which will be important in as far as it really is time we won something and we certainly don’t want Lingard spoiling the party.Comm
Commenting on Lingard’s decision to stay at Old Trafford after the game the nited boss said: “I think today was a good answer!. Jesse was quite clear he wants to fight for his place and be part of a Man United team that is going places.
“I can’t speak for Jesse now but he’s really contributing, he’ll play on Wednesday as I’ll make a few changes. So pleased he handles the highs and lows really well. He’s becoming a grown man and is a very good player.”
