Jesse Lingard Opens Up About His First Call Up With Paul Pogba & Hitting 'Rock Bottom' at Man Utd

Manchester United midfielder Jesse Lingard has opened up about his lowest moment at the club, and why it makes him enjoy each time he puts on a red shirt that much more, as well as his first call up with Paul Pogba

By his own admission, Lingard is one of the happiest players around. It is rare to see him without a smile plastered across his face, something which he concedes can irk some people.

However there is a reason for this attitude, because he has felt what it's like to hit "rock bottom". In an eye-opening piece for the Player's Tribune, the Englishman spoke about growing up through the ranks at Carrington, and revealed the agony he went through right after his debut for the Red Devils.
