Man Utd midfielder Jesse Lingard 'feels fit, feels sharp'

Manchester United midfielder Jesse Lingard has declared himself back to his best.

Lingard says he feels sharp and "back to myself" after playing a key role in United's wins against Tottenham and Manchester City.

"I feel good, I feel back to myself, I feel fit, I feel sharp," he said. "I love working for the team, I love winning games and playing matches.

Asked if he had found the 'Jesse he knows', he replied: "Yes, he's back now, he's back, he is there. People go through dips in form, it's just about finding the right balance and getting back to your usual self which I have.

"Of course you're frustrated when you're not playing. You've still got to have the right attitude and right mentality when you do go on and try to make an impact. I felt like I did against Sheffield United and from there I've kicked on."
