5 Players Who Have Had Their Best Season Till Date

#3. Jesse Lingard

Lingard has reached an amazing level this season, earning praises from his manager, Mourinho

“Jesse Lingard is going to be some player,”

“[He] is built like Jean Tigana was for France, but he never got into the limelight there until he was about 24. I think that will be the same with Lingard.”

That is what Manchester United manager, Sir Alex Ferguson said regarding Jesse Lingard in an interview with The Sun back in 2012 and the player has proven the coach right in every aspect, with his brilliant performances this season.

The attacking midfielder was showing promising signs ever since he made it to the United squad in 2014, but not until this season before he finally reached his limelight. The 25-year-old is one of the brightest superstars in the United squad, playing indispensable roles under Jose Mourinho as they finished second on the Premier League table.

Lingard has been really amazing this season, combining his creativity and goalscoring knack to influence the output of his team. He bagged 8 goals and 5 assists in the Premier League as well as 3 goals in the Carling Cup. His 2 goals have also helped the Manchester club to the final of the FA Cup this season.

Such is the influence of the player that the club has planned to increase his wages from £75,000-a-week to £100,000-a-week. With such incredible form, this is just the beginning for the England International.
