Lingard: 'Baby-Faced Assassin' Solskjaer makes us want to repeat Man United history

The Reds midfielder is at the centre of an Old Trafford revival and he is keen to help the Norwegian be successful as a coach

Jesse Lingard is buoyed by memories of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, as a Manchester United fan and player, as he says he remains inspired by his manager's playing career.

The 26-year-old is from Warrington, near Manchester, and he came through the youth ranks with the Premier League giants under the leadership of the legendary striker, who coached in the club's academy.

Solskjaer arrived to replace Jose Mourinho in December after a poor start to the season for United, but nine wins in 10 games have put them back among the Premier League's top five.
