Manchester United and England star Jesse Lingard has been winning many admirers this summer due to his excellent displays for England at the World Cup at Russia.
One man who is full of admiration for the 25-year-old is former Three Lions bossย Sam Allardyce, who has hailed Lingard for how he has dealt with the challenges of competing against big money signings at Old Trafford.
โExperience for Jesse Lingard has proven to help him be more consistent and more dynamic, not only in the Man United side,โ Allardyce told talkSPORT.
โLook at the competition heโs had at Manchester United, look at the players theyโve bought.
โSanchez recently, (Anthony) Martial, theyโve spent huge money and heโs overcome those challenges at Man United.
โHeโs been more of a regular first-team player than certainly Martial and I think that has been good for England.
โHe handles the big pressure, you play for Manchester United and thatโs massive, massive pressure.
โEverybody knows the demands of Manchester United, Champions League and to win the league.
โI think that heโs come through that with great experience over the years and his talent is getting better and better.โ
Lingard enjoyed his best ever campaign for United this season, netting 11 goals and five assist for his boyhood club.
Luckily for England boss Gareth Southgate he has carried that form into this summers World Cup in Russia, where he has been one of the Three Lions most impressive performers and scored a sublime goal during his his sides 6-1 pummelling of Panama last Sunday.
