It was only after seeign the celebration a few times that the things he does with his hands by his face represent "J" and "L" - at first i thought it was some weird mask celebration, but was only when i saw a photo that i realsied what he was doing!

Hell. First time I notice that. :lol:
 
By no means the greatest player but he’s Utd through and through.

Getting just fruits from being pretty much our only attacking player who shows any off the ball movement or a willingness to run in behind the defence.

Jesse is just killing it on all fronts.

He is living that life and I love it. So good to see one of the kids come through this club and claim centre stage.

Wakanda Forever!
 
His energy when he came on really woke our attackers up. With his sprightly movement off the ball, they seemed to wake up and start looking for the pass.
 
Credit to Jesse, he’s become such an important player for us. Did not see this happening at the start of the season, but he’s been one of the revelations of this season thus far!
 
No, it suggests either Lingard has more freedom, different instructions or simply interprets what Mourinho has told him differently to the others.

Remember he didn't start today. Why not? Maybe because he isnt always following instructions. Who knows

Because he's not as good as Martial? (In theory)

Do you not think it rather unlikely that Mourinho's instructions to his forwards would be "don't make runs off the ball"?

For Mourinho? No. Remember when Oscar became his favourite new toy at Chelsea because he tracked back? It wouldnt surprise me if he was happier with a forward making a run tracking back, than making a run off the ball for a pass
 
Jesse bossing it once again. This is why you don't rush to flog your home-grown players if they have potential within them, shame lots of the caf used to shout for him to be sold, despite for no apparent reason, not as if he was on 350k per week and starting ahead of better players. He is, and will be an important player for us for years to come, even if he doesn't play every week.
 
He’s proven his worth to me time and again. Today was no different. He has a knack for being in the right place at the right time, and/or for making movements that put others in that place.

Absolutely, he probably likes it more when they make tackles instead of scoring goals and when we lose games rather than win them.
 
Player of the season is between him, De Gea and Matic IMO. I hope he wins it, cannot even remember a player from our academy winning it.
 
A very good choice bringing him on, taking off Martial I wasn't too sure about, I would've taken Sanchez off much earlier. Nice cross from Lukaku, you would expect Lingard to be crossing into Lukaku normally. He always seems to play well against Chelsea, I remember him putting in a very good performance last year when he played up top with Rashford.
 
I really like to see his name on the team sheet. With his movement, pace and end product, it should be one of the first.
 
Great goal. Another big game goal.

Guessing he will post something on Social media soon or do something fun, and a lot of people will go back to hating him for enjoying. Something about Roy Keane rolling in his grave or something.
 
What a season he is having. Even if he stops scoring or assisting now till the end of season it's still very good one considering the expectations on him. 18 goals and assists this season already.

Scored winner against Chelsea,
Brace against Arsenal
Lukaku hit the post from Lingard's cross against Spurs.

He made very important contributions this season.

His FA Cup winning screamer did that for me. It was, in my opinion this tremendous ray of hope that we could recover as a team from this multi-year depression after Sir Alex left . It wasn't just that it was our first trophy in too many seasons, it was that a Mancunian academy product that did so. A bit of a back to the roots of our success type feel.

I didn't give him a pass for any ensuing poor performance, but for me he earned patience and an opportunity to continue representing the club when the manager saw fit.
 
And for those slating/writing off McTominay, we should remember Lingard. Lingard was heavily praised by peers and coaching staff while Redcafe was slating him. He eventually proved his worth. So let's not write off McTominay, or any of our youngsters for that matter, so quickly.

Those two things are not mutually exclusive. You can actually do both.

If you see Martial nowadays, he is so much a better fit than Sanchez in terms of defensive organisation. As much as Sanchez do track back, he does as he pleases and many times not in tune with the shape of the team. A bit more time and we will see United become more sold both offensively and defensively.
 
Cracking header! Chuffed for him, he's had a great response to his pay increase and put in a superb season.
 
Lingard's contribution this season:

Vs Leicester (H): Played just 14 mins and created very important second goal when it was just 1-0.
Vs Burton: Assisted 1st goal and scored 3rd.
Vs Swansea (A) league cup: Scored 2 goals in 2-0 win
Vs Watford (A): Assisted first goal and scored 4th when score was 3-2 and we were on back foot. Don't think many would forget that goal. His assist was weak assist though.
Vs Arsenal (A): Scored 2 goals in 3-1 win. 2nd and 3rd.
Vs West Brom: Scored 2nd goal in 2-1 win
Vs Leicester (A): Assisted first goal to make it 1-1
Vs Burnley (H): Scored 2 goals to make it 2-2 from 2-0 down.
Vs Everton (A): Scored second goal to make it 2-0.
Vs Derby (H): Scored first goal in 2-0 win
Vs Chelsea (H): Scored winning goal in 2-1 win.

That's a very good contribution from a player who was back up at the start of the season.
 
And for those slating/writing off McTominay, we should remember Lingard. Lingard was heavily praised by peers and coaching staff while Redcafe was slating him. He eventually proved his worth. So let's not write off McTominay, or any of our youngsters for that matter, so quickly.
On the one hand, Lingard was very highly rated in the youth teams, something that McTominay wasn't. So he'd shown he had the actual ability.

On the other, McTominay is almost a completely different player than he was two years ago thanks to that insane growth spurt.
 


Half of these are in this season alone. Great selection of goals. :drool:

Jessi strikes again.. good awareness to get into that pocket of space - not sure if I can recall see him scoring much headers so glad he's got that in his locker as well.
