Oh my, almost £300m spent on reinforcements and it's the homegrown boy who's stepped up to give new feel and direction to a United team that looked clueless just a few weeks ago.

All that bitterness from Jose that we are so happy to reciprocate and all these improved players under Pep etcetera, etcetera. But just how important has Jesse Lingard come to be in this new-look Manchester United team? How much better has he become under the tutelage of Jose Mourinho?
He is at the heart of everything fresh and delightful about United going forward. With every passing day, the initial doubts are fading and we are starting to see a player who has developed nearly every aspect of his game and is starting to look like United's best player on the pitch, and that too on a consistent basis.

Remember, this is a team that features a Paul Pogba working at his prime. Jesse Lingard's decision making is helping United break through defences, his direct running is upsetting defensive organisation and more than anything, his boots are giving birth to some absolute worldies.
Jesse Lingard has now scored or assisted 10 goals in his last 11 games in all competitions for Man Utd. Red hot form ???. pic.twitter.com/KclczX52lB
The way he's going, we're soon going to have to have a poll to choose which was Jesse Lingard's goal of the year.
