Man Utd boss Solskjaer: Lingard a big match performer

Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was delighted with goalscorer Jesse Lingard after victory at FA Cup opponents Arsenal.

United were impressive for the 3-1 win.

Solskjaer said of Lingard: "He's shown that for England and he's shown that for us. He always pops up with goals and he is someone we never ever hesitate to put in a Man United team. And he's been brought through the system so he knows what this means, he knows the history, he knows everything about the club and he's someone we love."

The manager also said of Luke Shaw: "He's just walking into the interview! [Laughs] He was fantastic. You saw for the second goal, instead of just panicking and clearing the ball, he took a touch and drove inside and set up Rom [who set up Jesse]. He did brilliantly."
