Man Utd midfielder Lingard: I'm very different to last Man City clash

Manchester United midfielder Jesse Lingard believes he's a "new player" this season.

When Manchester City won at Old Trafford in September, the United winger was substituted by boss Jose Mourinho, who made it clear he was not happy with Lingard's performance.

But since then, the England international's stock has risen and just this month he signed a new four-year contract.

Ahead of Thursday's clash at City, Lingard said: “I feel I've made a great deal of progress since that match in September. I've learned.

“It's a question of listening to the manager and what he wants."
