Jesse Lingard steps up recovery from recent injury

However, our no.14 has began training separately from the rest of his United team-mates as he continues his recovery from the knock.

Lingard went through an individualised training session at the Aon Training Complex on Friday, and hopefully will be involved in first-team action again in the not-too-distant future.

The 27-year-old has played twice this season for the Reds – in our respective Carabao Cup victories over Luton Town and Brighton & Hove Albion last month.
