team-mate Paul Pogba will score more regularly
next season.
The France international has netted only four goals
in 29 Premier League appearances since his return
to Old Trafford for a world-record fee ahead of the
2016-17 campaign, attracting some criticism.
Nevertheless, Lingard believes Pogba just needed
some time to get used to the English top flight
again after four years in Serie A and has backed
the 24-year-old to deliver next season.
"It is obviously his first year [back] in the Premier
League and it was going to take some getting used
to," Lingard was quoted as saying by Sky Sports.
"It is the luck he has had this season. We know he
is a world-class player, he has helped the team a
lot and I do not see why he will not go on next
season and score the goals he has missed this
season.
"You see the power he has, the stature he
possesses in midfield, no one can get near him
and when he plays those throughballs we are
always running for them. We need to finish more of
them."
