Lewis McGugan has challenged Jesse Lingard to reproduce his up-turn in form on a regular basis as the Nottingham Forest midfielder returns to Manchester United for the first time on Tuesday evening.
The 30-year-old struck his second goal in Garibaldi Red during Forest’s 4-1 win over Blackburn Rovers last Wednesday, with Lingard also providing an assist. It was an impressive performance from the England star, who is starting to find his feet at The City Ground.
Having failed to find the net in his first 12 appearances since joining Forest from United in the summer, Lingard now has two in his last three matches. It is the kind of form Reds fans need to see from the midfielder, who is reportedly on a thumping £200,000 per-week at the club.
