​Lindelof says Man Utd players delighted for Lingard

Manchester United star Victor Lindelof says everyone in the squad is happy for Jesse Lingard.

United's attacking midfielder got the second goal in a 2-0 win over Leicester City on the final day of the season.

It was the Englishman's first for the season and helped United sealed third-place in the Premier League, and UEFA Champions League qualification.

"I was quite confident when I saw that it was a penalty," said the Swede to reporters about the first goal, which Bruno Fernandes scored from the spot after Anthony Martial was brought down by Jonny Evans.

"He's a great penalty-taker and I think he knew right away where he wanted to put the ball. I wasn't nervous at all.

"It was a relief when he (Lingard) scored that second goal and for him to do that was a very good moment, so we were happy for that."
