Jesse Ellis Lingard (born 15 December 1992) is an English professional footballer who plays as a winger for Premier League club Manchester United and the England national team.
Lingard made his senior debut while on loan at Leicester City in 2012, and spent time on loan at Birmingham City and Brighton & Hove Albion during the 2013–14 season and at Derby County in 2015.
He represented England at under-17 and under-21 level before making his senior international debut in October 2016.
Lingard was born in Warrington, Cheshire, and attended William Beamont Community High School. He joined Manchester United's youth academy at the age of seven and progressed through the age groups. He was part of the Manchester United side that won the 2010–11 FA Youth Cup, before signing a professional contract in the summer of 2011.
Lingard was first included in a senior matchday squad on 30 November 2011, in the League Cup quarter-finals against Crystal Palace at Old Trafford, remaining unused as Sir Alex Ferguson's team lost 2–1 after extra time. He had his only other call-up of the season on 4 January 2012, again unused in a 3–0 away Premier League loss to Newcastle United.
