Jesse Lingard raring to go after returning to full fitness

The 25-year-old secured Manchester United a point against Arsenal.

Manchester United's Jesse Lingard is determined to "bounce back" from a frustrating start to the season.

The 25-year-old established himself as a key player for club and country last season as Jose Mourinho's men finished Premier League and FA Cup runners-up, before helping England reach the World Cup semi-finals.

Lingard's exertions came at a cost, though, as a groin injury that he had carried since Russia lied him low for a month, with the attacking midfielder only scoring his first United goal of the season when securing Wednesday's 2-2 draw at home to Arsenal.

"And as footballers we just enjoy our football and want to win games. That's the main thing."

One impressive trait that United have managed to display this season is an ability to come back, which they twice did to secure a point against Arsenal.

"We knew that Arsenal like to press and they like to nip at things and bite at things, so we had to put them on the back foot straightaway," Lingard said.

"The first pretty much 20 seconds, it got the crowd up on their feet and it kind of gave us a buzz after that.

"I think it's always been an area that we obviously never give up. You've seen over the years the comebacks that United have made, so for us to just keep that spirit alive and never give up.

"Leading the game, especially going in at half-time, always puts you in a comfortable position and if we can do that now for the remainder of this season."
