Jesse Lingard believes Manchester United can win the Premier League title this season after winning ‘three trophies’ under Jose Mourinho during his first season at Old Trafford.
The local lad has enjoyed his time under the former Chelsea manager to date and won the Community Shield, the EFL Cup and the Europa League in a trophy-laden debut campaign under the latest United manager.
Lingard is convinced Mourinho’s success in his first season has installed a winning mentality at the club and that the drive is there to add the Premier League title to their collection this time around.
And after a cracking start to the season, with a 4-0 win over West Ham, Lingard has revealed that confidence is sky high.
‘There’s a lot of confidence flying around at the moment and it’s good that we can stick together and be a part of it,’ he told Sky Sports.
You could say that [the mood has changed in the dressing room]. We’ve come off the back of three trophies, so the confidence is flowing.
‘The group that we had it was easy for players to settle in, the likes of Rom [Lukaku] and Victor [Lindelof], it was always going to be easy for them.
‘They’re very down to earth guys and they want to work hard on the training pitch.
‘The whole team is working hard this season and hopefully we’ll win trophies. We’re in a lot of competitions, the more trophies the better.’
