Sir Alex Ferguson has backed Jesse Lingard to be a real hit at West Ham this season after his excellent start, revealed manager David Moyes.
Lingard, 28, joined the Hammers on loan from Manchester United earlier this month and scored twice on his debut in the 3-1 win over Aston Villa.
An impressive run has propelled West Ham into the European places and victory over Sheffield United on Monday could cement their place in the top six.
Moyes, who worked with Lingard when he was in charge at United, says he has already spoken to Sir Alex about the England international.
