Manchester United forward, Jesse Lingard has praised the influence of teammates, Marcus Rashford and Fred during the team’s recent improved run of form.
Victories vs Tottenham and Manchester City in Mufc’s last two EPL games have seen the fans believe in finishing in the top 4 again after recent results that dashed their hopes.
The wins have been sealed with Lingard’s return to the starting XI, but he feels Rashford and Fred have been more instrumental.
According to him, Rashford enjoys scoring goals and Fred has been solid in midfield.
His words, “Rashford is flying,”
“He is there to score goals, and he enjoys scoring goals.
“Every day he is practising in training and it is working on the pitch. Practice makes perfect, and he is always staying behind and practising on his shooting.
“I am not surprised. [He is] a proper Manc, he is born and bred here and he loves Manchester United.”
On Fred, he said, “In the last two games, he has been solid in midfield. He is a real rock. We can rely on him when we press high to back us.
“He has been doing really well at the moment. We just concentrate on our one job and that’s to win the game.”
On the win vs City, “It was a huge win. We take so much confidence from that game. We look forward now. We don’t want to dwell too long on it but it was a good solid performance. We have to believe in ourselves and back ourselves.
“We take confidence from that. When we start as we did, no one can handle us. We have to concentrate on our job and what we can do.”
On Mufc youngster, Angel Gomes, “He is the next one to come through,”
“I have seen his ability since a young age. He is unbelievable.
“Every day in training, he is always working hard and just waiting for his opportunity. He is very creative, skilful and he has got a bit of pace.”
