However, United boss Solskjaer praised Lingard and promised that the club will ‘look after’ the midfielder.
"Jesse’s a big game-player," said Solskjaer. "He’s shown that for England, for us. He always pops up with goals, was it last year counter-attack goal against Arsenal?
"So Jesse is someone we never, never hesitate to put in a Man United team and he’s been brought through this system, he knows what this means, he knows the club, he knows this history, he knows all the counter-attacking goals we’ve scored against Arsenal. He knows everything about the club and he’s someone we’ll look after."
