The United winger, who entered the fray at Anfield as an early replacement for Paul Pogba, is calling for the team to take the same front-foot approach that was evident in the second half until the hosts pulled away and scored their third and fourth goals late on.
"There was nothing to lose. For us as players, we just had to press, stay up, stay high, press them and they'd make mistakes," said Lingard.
"We were doing that for the first 25, 30 minutes [of the second half] and putting Liverpool under pressure. We nearly created some chances from that so we've got to start off with the right mindset of pressing and being intense from the get-go.
