Manchester United forward Jesse Lingard celebrates his 25th birthday with team-mate Marcus Rashford

Jesse Lingard is already having his best season in front of goal in a Manchester United shirt and we're not even halfway through the campaign.

The forward turned 25 on Friday, two days ahead of United's Premier League clash against West Brom at The Hawthorns.

And he managed to bag himself a little birthday treat by netting what would prove to be the decisive goal — and his seventh of the season — against Alan Pardew's side.

Romelu Lukaku put United ahead before Lingard doubled the lead just eight minutes later to put the visitors firmly in the driving seat before half time.
