Many players are more talented than this 25-year-old boy, but Lingard’s explosiveness makes him an interesting midfielder to follow in the World Cup.
Lingard made the final 23-man English squad and will have his first experience in a World Cup.
Moreover, his season at Manchester United proved he deserves the spot in the starting lineup. Lingard scored 13 goals this season with the Red Devils and also delivered seven assists in all competitions.
The youngster is quite a passer too, averaging 87% pass accuracy and 26 chances created in his sixth season in the English Premier League.
Lingard earned the respect of coach José Mourinho and the England coach Gareth Southgate had no doubts about putting him on the plane to Russia.
The Englishman is a rising star we need to keep an eye out for in Russia.
Avg. Pass length: 13m.
