„Manchester United“ team, before the coronavirus pandemic stopped the European football leagues, demonstrated excellent form and had not lost 11 matches in a row. Despite the long break, attacking midfielder Jesse Lingard is confident that the team can demonstrate similar form when returning to the „Premier“ league battles. „I think we can show a similar form when we return to the „Premier“ league battles. I communicate with most of my teammates and they all work hard. We all have training programs in place and we are eagerly awaiting the return to the field. We must maintain our physical form so that when we return to the „Premier“ league, we can start properly and continue our successful journey,“ - J. Lingard spoke to ESPN.
However, the 27-year-old Englishman believes that football should only return to stadiums when it is completely safe to do so. „We must act responsibly and ensure everyone's safety. We can only return when we are safe. It's obvious that everyone misses football, but we must follow all safety requirements,“ - added the Englishman.
