Jose Mourinho would make 'random FaceTime calls' with his Manchester United players, Jesse Lingard reveals as resurgent star opens up on how Bruno Fernandes helped him rediscover his 'aura' on the pitch

Jesse Lingard has opened up on 'random FaceTime calls' with Jose Mourinho as the Manchester United star revealed how support from Bruno Fernandes helped him regain his 'aura' on the pitch.

Lingard, 28, has enjoyed a sensational 2021, with a strong loan spell at West Ham seeing the creative midfielder earn a recall to Gareth Southgate's England squad, while Barcelona and AC Milan are reportedly monitoring the United star.

It has been some turnaround for the Englishman. Lingard enjoyed a strong couple of seasons at United under Mourinho, before injuries and personal issues derailed his career and put him on the outskirts of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's plans.
