The 21-year-old is considered to be one of the brightest talents to break out of the Red Devils academy in recent times, having progressed from the youth system in 2011.
Since then Lingard has had loan spells with Leicester City and more recently Birmingham City, where the forward scored six times in 13 games including an incredible four goals on his debut.
