Manchester United attacking midfielder Jesse Lingard says he was “lost as a player and a person” last season.

The England international was gifted a first Premier League goal of the season in the closing seconds of the final game of the season against Leicester City.

Lingard has now reflected on a disappointing campaign in a lengthy social media post in which he alluded to issues off the field impacting his form.

But he quoted a Michael Jackson lyric to suggest that he also needed to make changes to return to the form that saw him star for England at the 2018 World Cup in Russia.

Writing on Instagram, he said: “I’m starting with the man in the mirror I’m asking him to change his ways.

“This season has been difficult for so many reasons. I lost who I was as a player and person, but I never wanted to give up, I knew who I really was on and off the pitch and knew that having been there before I could get there again.
