Manchester United midfielder Jesse Lingard started 2020 in the same disastrous vein as he performed the whole of last year.

The Sun reports the England international failed to register a single goal or assist last year despite playing in an advanced role.

And for last night's defeat at Arsenal, Lingard offered precious little hope of a turnaround until being hauled off for Andreas Pereira before the hour mark.

The Old Trafford academy graduate has survived all three of the failed Alex Ferguson replacements so far and No4 Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has kept faith with him.

Last night, the rejuvenated Mesut Ozil completed 42 of his 49 passes for an 86 per cent completion rate, while Lingard only found a team-mate 20 times from 26.
