5 Manchester United youngsters who deserve a chance in the 1st team

#2 Jesse Lingard

Another player who's generating excitment among United's youth team coaches is Jesse Lingard. He had an extremely fruitful time during Manchester United's pre-season tour where he was their top scorer with four goals in as many games. The 21-year-old has been praised for his pace and vision as an attacking midfielder/ forward which could be extremely useful in the future. He was loaned out to Championship side Birmingham City last season where he had a debut to remember when he scored all of his team's four goals.Lingard ended his loan spell with 6 goals in 13 appearances for Birmingham.

The youngster is now on loan at Brighton until the end of the season where he hopes to add to his already remarkable goal tally. Manchester United's midfield currently has some aging players which gives Lingard some hope for the future. It can be safely said that Lingard will surely make some appearances for United next season.
