Jesse Lingard would love to be Man Utd No10

Manchester United midfielder Jesse Lingard admits he fancies the No10 role.

But the youngster accepts it's a crowded field for the position at first team level.

"I like getting on the ball and making things happen," he explained. "It was hard in the first half due to Liverpool's two sitting midfielders but we broke them down in the second half with our game plan.

"Obviously, Juan [Mata] plays there and Wazza [Wayne Rooney] can play there as well," added Lingard, referring to the role behind the strikers. "But I'll keep doing in training what I do, day in and day out, and back my ability."
