Jesse Lingard has said that he is hoping for a "fresh start" when he returns to action with Manchester United in the Premier League next month.

Prior to the breakout of COVID-19, which saw the league suspended, the 27-year-old managed just two goals and two assists during the season - against lower league opposition such as Rochdale and Tranmere Rovers.

However, the England international is keen to come back stronger and improve his game.

The midfielder told Adidas Home Team's The Huddle: "Obviously to finish the season, you know I wanted to go back in fitter, sharper than last season to play every game. I've kind of forgot about last season, we move forward and even though the season's not finished, I feel like it's another little fresh start.

"Finishing a season, it feels like a mini-season for me, so to go back in, like I say, flying from the get-go, in which I feel good and then, obviously, for next season to just carry on.

"I have the right attitude, I have the right desire, I have the right hunger to win games to play for United to obviously win trophies which is one of the most important things."

Manchester United will first face Tottenham Hotspur when the league resumes next month.
