Man Utd youth guru Harrison: Lingard top of the pile

Manchester United youth guru Eric Harrison isn't surprised by Jesse Lingard's success at Birmingham City.

Harrison rates the youngster as among the best young players to come through at United in recent years.

"For me Jesse is the top of the pile," he told the Manchester Evening News. "Technically he is brilliant. He can control the ball and he is always in the right position which is very important in the Premier League. He's got great attributes and he is a super lad which is very important."
