Arsenal 1-3 Manchester United: 5 Talking Points

Arsenal v Manchester United - Premier League
Manchester United barely came out on top in what was a Premier League classic

#3 Jesse Lingard is thriving in the #10 role

Arsenal v Manchester United - Premier League
He is really enjoying it, isn't he?

Jesse Lingard's stats might read only 6 goals and 4 assists in 19 games across all competitions but the English midfielder looks to be thriving in the new #10 role that he has been entrusted with by Jose Mourinho.

In the last two games that Lingard has started instead of Anthony Martial, in the #10 role, the 24-year-old has provided one assist and scored 3 goals.

The English midfielder has successfully managed to displace rather illustrious names in Juan Mata and Henrikh Mkhitaryan, and is now striving in the role.

Mourinho's side have been heavily linked with a move for Arsenal's soon to be out-of-contract superstar Mesut Ozil, but going by the evidence that Lingard game in last night's game, they don't need one.
