#3 Jesse Lingard

U21 England v U21 Germany - International Friendly
Lingard has proved his worth in the U21 stage

The World cup squad of England is all about youth and pace. And you simply can not miss Jesse Lingard if you are making a list of top players who are heading to Russia next month.

Lingard is fast. On his day he can outrun the most of the defenders participating in the World Cup. Also, he has some decent trickery up in his sleeves which make him very useful to any manager. And we have also seen enough evidence of his scoring skills thanks to the 13 goals he has scored this season for Manchester United.

The number of appearances was limited this season for Lingard. He made a total of 33 Premier League appearances but played full 90 minutes in only 3 of them. But in this limited scope of opportunity, he has made significant contributions and we can surely hope for the same when England takes on the World in Russia.
