Jesse Lingard 'Raring to Go' After Injury-Hit Start to Manchester United Season

Manchester United forward Jesse Lingard has said he is "raring to go" as the season enters the crucial Christmas period after enduring a slow start to 2018-19 following his exertions for England at the 2018 FIFA World Cup.

A niggling thigh injury eventually saw the 25-year-old have to miss most of October. But he hinted he is now back to full fitness after netting his first club goal of the season against Arsenal on Wednesday, per Simon Peach of the Press Association (h/t MailOnline):

"We didn't get much rest obviously in the summer after the World Cup, so coming back there's always going to be little niggles here and there.
