Jesse Lingard is a young English footballer playing as a left winger. However, at the same time he is a universal attack and can also play on the right or in the center (but not the central striker). At the moment, Jesse Lingard played only for English clubs, but he is still quite young - he is only 23 years old.
Carier start
Jesse Lingard was born December 15, 1992 in England and at the age of five was in the academy of the small club Fletcher Moss Rangers. He didn’t stay there for a long time and a year later he moved to the academy of Penquet United club, where he was noticed by the English giant Manchester United in 2000. An eight-year-old boy moved to the system of a large club, where he trained and played for various youth teams for ten years. In 2010, when the guy turned eighteen, he was offered a professional contract, which he gladly signed. Jesse Lingard officially became a player at Manchester United.
Rent and play for Manchester
However, the young player could not find a place in such a large club: at first he played exclusively for the double, until he was leased to Leicester, who played in the Championship at that time. There, for two months, Jesse appeared on the field five times, after which he returned to Manchester United, but still did not receive playing practice at the club. In the summer of 2013, he again went on loan for six months, this time at Birmingham, for which he had already played 13 matches, scoring 6 goals. It was an impressive result, but not for Manchester. There, Jesse was again left without practice until he was sent to a third lease. In Albion, he spent the ending of the 13/14 season, playing 17 matches and scoring 4 goals. Only in the 14/15 season, Jesse Lingard, whose biography at that time was not developing as he would like, did he get the first chance to play for Manchester United and the only one. In the winter of 2015, he was sent for another six months for rent at Derby County, where he entered the field 15 times and scored two goals. It was then that the moment came when Lingard relied on Manchester United. The next season, he very often appeared on the field, played 40 matches and scored six goals. As for the current season, he has already played five matches, scoring one goal in them and giving one assists.
Team appearances
Jesse was first called to the England national team in November 2015, but never received a chance to enter the field. His debut was postponed for almost a year: for the first time in the national team's T-shirt, he entered the field in October 2016, having played two qualifying matches against the national teams of Malta and Slovenia.
