Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has heaped praise on Jesse Lingard after his winning goal against West Ham United on Sunday.

The 28-year-old, who spent the second half of last season at West Ham, came on as a substitute to make it 2-1 with a minute remaining in normal time.

And Solskjaer has been impressed with Lingard's maturity after his statement goal at London Stadium.

"I think today was a good answer! Jesse was quite clear he wants to fight for his place and be part of a Manchester United team that is going places," he said at a press conference.

"I can't speak for Jesse now but he's really contributing, he'll play on Wednesday as I'll make a few changes. So pleased he handles the highs and lows really well.

"He's becoming a grown man and is a very good player."

He added: "I'm so happy for Jesse, he had a tough evening on Tuesday, he knuckled down, he's a positive lad, so happy for him. A good turn by Jesse, good finish."
