Jesse Lingard hits the gym with personal trainer as Manchester United star works hard to recover from injury

With the Premier League season now well underway, Jesse Lingard has been working hard to force his way into Jose Mourinho's Manchester United plans.

The young attacker has been sidelined with injury after scoring in the Community Shield, but in a video posted by his personal trainer, the 23-year-old has been busy lifting weights in the gym.

A caption alongside the video reads: 'Never been so proud... [the] change in 6 weeks is just exceptional, it just shows you what positivity does', as Lingard lifts weights and does press-ups in the gym.

It will surely be a tough ask for Lingard to work his way into the starting XI at Old Trafford, with Juan Mata and Henrikh Mkhitaryan also fighting for their place in the United line-up.
