The lifelong Red has been performing excellently in this summer’s pre-season campaign and caught the eye in our three friendlies, against Derby County, Queens Park Rangers and Brentford.
Lingard was excited to feature in our final friendly of the summer, against Everton at Old Trafford, but unfortunately the Academy graduate was ruled out of action after a positive test for coronavirus.
The 28-year-old is now isolating in line with Government and Premier League Guidelines.
It currently remains to be seen whether Lingard will be available to feature in next Saturday’s opening match of the 2021/22 season, against historic rivals Leeds United at Old Trafford.
