Man Utd midfielder Lingard: I'm humble

Manchester United midfielder Jesse Lingard insists he's a "humble guy".

Lingard also says he takes his career seriously.

He told the Mirror: “If you don't really know me, a lot of of people judge me through social media and what they see. It's a different perception of who I really am.

“I'm a humble guy, down-to-earth guy. People from the academy say good things about me. I work hard, I enjoy my football.

“People see the messing about side, me on social media, but I still work behind the scenes. But I'm a fun guy. You get one life and you have to live it to the fullest. But only when the time's right, of course.

“I do things that people don't know I do. I have my own fitness guy who comes, I have my own chef because diet is big for me and my own masseuse who comes. I do stuff that doesn't get filmed and aired out to the public."
