Football: SOLSKJAER: LINGARD PART OF MAN UTD'S PLANS



Jesse Lingard is part of Manchester United's plans going into the new season, says boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.


Solskjaer's side began their pre-season preparations with a 2-1 win over Derby County on Sunday, with Tahith Chong and Facundo Pellistri on target for last season's Premier League runners-up.


Lingard, who has been at United since 2011, came on as a second-half substitute after returning to Solskjaer's set up following a successful loan spell at West Ham last season.

West Ham are still keen on signing him and are waiting on a decision as to whether he has a future at Old Trafford, which Solskjaer now seemed to suggest he does.


After the game, he said: "He was one of the positives. He's a Manchester United player and he wants to fight for his place.


"He's come back bright, confident and with lots of energy. I think everyone saw what he did at the end of last season with West Ham.


"He's still in my plans. I expect him at Man Utd at the start of the season."
