Jesse Lingard is one of the most promising youngsters to watch at the 2018 FIFA World Cup. He has good feet, ability to accelerate very quickly and is an intelligent footballer. His abilities have greatly impressed England's manager Gareth Southgate and hence he was included in England's starting line-up against Tunisia ahead of his Manchester United teammate Marcus Rashford.

Having represented England in 13 matches and scored 1 goal for them, Lingard had 2 golden opportunities to score in England's first game against Tunisia. His first effort at goal was blocked by a Tunisian defender and the other one hit the post, after getting past the Tunisian goal-keeper.

Lingard is a slippery customer and will be looking to score for England against Panama. The Panamanian defenders will have to be on high alert and watch out for him as Lingard has the ability to be at the right place at the right time.
