'Lingard's development has been fantastic – Solskjaer in awe of blossoming Man Utd star

Jesse Lingard's development at Manchester United has been "fantastic" and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is in awe of the England international.

It was in United's reserve team that Lingard first played for Solskjaer, when his talents as a goalscoring midfielder started to become apparent.

Although not always considered the most technically gifted, Lingard's work rate and versatility made him an asset as a squad member and he went on to score eight Premier League goals in 20 starts last term.
