Manchester United fans think Jesse Lingard can kick on now he has scored his first goal of 2019.
Lingard opened the scoring against Astana in the Europa League with a drive from the edge of the area which appeared to take a small deflection before nestling in the bottom corner.
The strike was his first for United since scoring against Arsenal in January, ending a run of 28 games without a goal or assist.
Captaining a youthful United side in Kazakhstan, Lingard stepped up on a night where he was given a chance to re-find some form. Manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer had said before the game: "He’s a really good character in this group. He’s had his challenges over the last few months but he’s coming back into his own now.”
Lingard rose to the challenge against Astana, leading the attack from a central position and getting an early reward with his goal.
The England international has found himself on the fringes of the starting XI this season, but fans are now hoping he can push on and rediscover his confidence in front of goal ahead of the busy winter period.
