Lingard in touch with ex-Man Utd pals at Leicester

Manchester United midfielder Jesse Lingard is looking forward to their clash with Leicester City.

The Foxes will be crowned champions if they win at Old Trafford tomorrow.

"We're confident. We're on a roll now and the lads are buzzing. The atmosphere is great around the training ground and hopefully we can take it into Sunday's game. I think every game leading up to the end of the season is going to be massive. We pretty much need to win all of our league games now to secure the fourth spot, and after that we'll have a week to prepare for the FA Cup final," he told MUTV. On his ex-United teammates, Lingard continued: "Yeah, I message Danny Drinkwater now and then to see how he's doing and vice versa. I'm just glad for those lads that they've got a massive chance to win the Premier League. They've been through our Academy and our youth system; they've got Manchester United engrained in them. They're good lads, they work hard and listen to the coaches, which are two of the main things you need to do."
