Ahead of the Manchester derby, Jesse Lingard has spoken of knowing the importance of this game, having played for Manchester United since he was 7-years-old.

I played in the derby at their place last season and we got the win in a good, feisty game,” said Lingard, in an exclusive pre-match interview with MUTV. It was the first time Marcus and I had played there [in the first team] and it was a great feeling to win with the away fans there behind us.

This is a massive game. Obviously, as a local lad growing up, you know what it means. Coming through the ranks, playing at every level against City, you know what it means to everyone in the team and the staff to get the win on the day. It’s massive not just for me, but for the whole club, the staff and the supporters. To come away with three points for us and our fans as well is really big for us. The lads will be 100 per cent up for the game.
