Man Utd midfielder Lingard 'very happy' with Barcelona goal

Manchester United midfielder Jesse Lingard was delighted to score in their victory over Barcelona.

Lingard stepped off the bench on 62 minutes and bagged a goal just three minutes later.

“I obviously feel very happy," Lingard told MUTV. “We had a game plan and we stuck to that game plan and it's good that we won today."

Asked to recount his second-half goal, Jesse continued: “Andreas did well to get it in midfield. He's played it out to Wilson and then Willo's committed the defender. Tyler Blackett's pulled it back and it was lucky that I was there, on the edge of the box, and I've stuck it home.

“I've wanted to add goals to my game since last season. I scored a couple of goals while I was on loan for Derby County [last season] and it's good to get off the mark again now."
