Rio Ferdinand recalls Jesse Lingard being 'the best player' on pre-season tour with Manchester United under David Moyes in 2013 as he continues to shine for Scot at West Ham: 'He probably looked back and thought... I can get the best out of him'

Rio Ferdinand lauded Jesse Lingard for his bright start to life since joining West Ham on loan from Manchester United.

Lingard joined the Hammers last month after falling down the pecking order at Old Trafford, making just two starts since Project Restart for the Red Devils.

Ferdinand has recalled the time they were team-mates together at Manchester United, when David Moyes took charge in the summer of 2013.

The Manchester United said Lingard was their 'best player' on their pre-season tour with Moyes which took place in Asia and Australia.
