Manchester United midfielder Jesse Lingard will captain the team tonight at Europa League opponents Astana.

Lingard, Axel Tuanzebe, Luke Shaw and third choice goalkeeper Lee Grant are the only four senior players present.

The quartet are expected to lead from the front and Lingard is ready to do exactly that having sought more responsibility.

“It's a massive honour," said the 26-year-old academy graduate.

“I said at the start of the season I'd like to be more of a leader type of person, on and off the field. You know, being one of the most senior players in the squad.

"Now is the perfect time to show that.“
