Jesse Lingard has looked a shadow of his former self since he picked up a hamstring injury sometime back. But against Barcelona, like he tends to do against big teams, Jesse Lingard will be expected to be one of the influencers for Manchester United.

Before his injury, Jesse Lingard made Ole Gunnar’s system work and if he wasn’t rushed back after his injury against PSG in their first leg, United may have been seeing more of his best at the moment.

He’s sleek, runs his socks off and is creative as well; Barca defenders will have a torrid time coming up against him if he’s on form tonight. He’ll pull the defenders out of position and hence allowing the forwards and any deep runner to do damage to Barcelona.

He’ll also be important for Manchester United when they are trying to keep shape especially defensively. He’ll track back willingly and give United an advantage there as well.
