Before joining West Ham, however, the 28-year-old has fallen out of favour under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer at Old Trafford.
Stuck behind Bruno Fernandes, Paul Pogba and Donny van de Beek in the pecking order, Lingard was allowed to secure a temporary move away.
And he’s been in magnificent form ever since, scoring six times for West Ham from eight appearances in the capital so far.
The Athletic say Manchester United believe Lingard is better in the capital for three reasons.
One is because he’s got a level of responsibility, with the 28-year-old very much Moyes’ talisman at the current moment in time.
A second is a guarantee of games, with Lingard virtually assured to start every week while he’s at the London Stadium.
And a third is a license to try things. Moyes has given the Man United player freedom, providing him a license to do as he pleases.
On Friday he posted a photo from his apartment which overlooks the London Stadium saying “Friday feels All eyes on Sunday”
