Man Utd fans noticed ballboy's reaction to Jesse Lingard's shocking miss in derby

Jesse Lingard had a glorious opportunity to equalise for Manchester United in the derby with City on Wednesday.

But the England international well and truly fluffed his chance at a pivotal point in the game, enabling Man City to go on and add a second.

Manchester United fans were understandably furious on social media, with many hitting out at Lingard.

Others noticed the brilliant reaction from one of the Old Trafford ballboys, which was captured by the Sky Sports cameras, and the image of the youngster has now gone viral.

Ballboys are very usually supporters of the clubs they are volunteering at.
