Lingard added that he simply focused on getting the right move, whether in England or out of England because he was fed up of not playing.
His words, “He’s shown a lot of support and belief in me, he gave me my England debut, which I’m proud of,”
“I still kept in contact with him even though I wasn’t playing, just to get his advice on what I should do.”
“It was just about the right move, whether it was going out to Europe or staying in the Premier League.”
“He said, ‘If I was you, I would stay in the Premier League’. After that, it was about finding a Premier League side and West Ham fitted in perfectly.”
On return to the national team, “I’ve had to work hard and graft, and I still believe in myself to play at the highest level. If you work hard, you get the rewards in the end.”
