Man Utd attacker Lingard: I'm back to full fitness

Manchester United attacker Jesse Lingard says he's "back to full fitness".

The 26-year-old re-aggravated a hamstring injury against Wolves prior to the international break.

"I'm back to full fitness," Lingard told MUTV ahead of United's clash with Wolves on Tuesday.

"I think obviously the break helped as I could get the hamstring stronger again to come back and play the rest of the games in the remainder of the season.

"The Wolves tie was a risk. I've said that before but it was an FA Cup quarter-final and the manager put me in. It was still a risk and I needed that time out just to rest the hamstring and get it going again."
