West Ham coach Nolan: Man Utd midfielder Lingard showing right attitude

West Ham first-team coach Kevin Nolan is hoping for big things from loan signing Jesse Lingard.

The Manchester United midfielder has joined to the end of this season.

Nolan said: "From what we can gather, he's training really well, he's just found it difficult to break into that squad because Manchester United are on that run at the minute.

"We've been lucky enough to be able to get him over to us. What we're trying to do is add competition, someone who's a bit different, someone who can give us something a bit different in central areas as well as the wide areas, because he can fill a number of roles for us.

"What we're hoping that we've got is a lad who is coming hungry and ready to prove a lot of people wrong, in terms of ready to prove that he can still play for Man United.

"He's said he still thinks he's got a future there, which is great for us because we want to see the best of him. And also there's a Euros coming up and he's gonna be playing with one of the lads who is going to be going to the Euros in Declan Rice.

“To be able to be training with him and have that opportunity, then I think for us it's an absolute massive… it's a great signing for us really and we're hoping that we get the best out of him and we get the best of both worlds for his side and for us."
