Jesse Lingard opens up on his return to Man Utd - "It will be emotional"

Jesse Lingard has admitted he is "excited" about his upcoming return to Manchester United after leaving Old Trafford for good last summer after 22 years on the Red Devils' books.

The 30-year-old saw his United contract come to an end and there was little interest from either party when it came to a renewal. In turn, he now dons the red of recently-promoted Nottingham Forest instead. After a slow start at the City Ground, Lingard started to show an upturn in form prior to the World Cup break.

His next Premier League outing comes in the form of a trip to his old stomping ground on December 27 as Forest try to dent United's bid for a top-four finish this term while also trying to lift themselves out of the relegation zone.
