Lingard focused on Man Utd trophies after tough times

Jesse Lingard admits he has endured some tough times at Manchester United.

The 27-year-old has played over 200 times for the club, but poor performances this season have lead to speculation he could be sold.

But Lingard insists he remains committed to winning trophies for his boyhood club.

He told United's official website: "The main thing is to concentrate on the game, to get the win. That's the most important thing. I just think of all the lows that I've had, I'm here now, coming onto the pitch and doing what I love doing best.

"I love playing football and I'm at Man United, so you try and be positive in that aspect and your family are there watching. You've just got to go out there and enjoy it, take the positives."

He added: "I think when I was coming through, the history of the club stuck out a lot to me.

"The amount of trophies that had been won over the years was so inspiring. As a young lad coming through at that time, you can see the success, you know it's there and you can't wait to work hard to get into their shoes and be winning trophies as well.

"We go through different stages of life where things change, managers come in and life transitions but as a club we have that backing behind us. We do have that never-say-die attitude. We have that hunger to win."
