Lingard Eager To Match Beckham And Class Of ’92

Jesse Lingard is looking to make history with the current crop of United players and match the successful class of 1992.

Paul Scholes, David Beckham and Gary Neville came through the ranks at United, and won multiple trophies, including a treble in 1998-99.

And Lingard who came through the academy with Marcus Rashford and Pogba, who returned to his childhood club, is hoping to match the famous class of 1992.

“It is all about making new history but you see the team with Paul Scholes, David Beckham, Gary Neville etc, and you see what they achieved and it is only right that the likes of me, Marcus and Paul try and emulate that and win trophies,” he told the BBC .

“They came through the ranks together, but my [youth] team went their separate ways so to have another home lad like Marcus in the team and with Paul having been here since 16, we just want to try and emulate what they did.”

“It is the start now. I am comfortable in myself and my surroundings so that makes me play stress free and enjoy being on the ball,” Lingard said.

 

“Consistency, goals and assists – that gets you confidence and puts the thought in the manager’s head that he can’t drop you.

“Sometimes games may not go the way you plan it and sometimes you have to do the dirty, gritty stuff well – you have to tackle, you have to run. I learned that when I was young and it is a good feeling to work hard for the team, to get the ball back.”
