Lingard vows to bring Zlatan & Mourinho's mentality to West Ham

Jesse Lingard insists he can bring a winning mentality to West Ham after learning off the likes of Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Jose Mourinho during his time at Manchester United.

The 28-year-old, who barely had a look-in at Old Trafford this season, joined the Hammers on loan last month and made a lightning start, scoring twice on his debut at Aston Villa.

After impressing again in Monday's win against Sheffield United, the attacking midfielder believes he can bring something different to the West Ham squad as they look to challenge for a shock top-four place this season.

'When Zlatan came in he was the perfect example of wanting to win, Jose as well he wanted to win,' Lingard told BT Sport.

'It rubbed off on the likes of me and Marcus [Rashford], I can bring that experience to West Ham.

'I know what it is like to win, it is that focus and mindset of going into each game and winning.'

Lingard worked with both Ibrahimovic and Mourinho from 2016-2018, as they all won the League Cup and Europa League together in 2017.

Moyes, who worked with Lingard during his own time in charge at United from 2013-2014, also believes Lingard can offer his side something different as they look to push on this season.

'I think Jesse's ability has always been there, it was only a year or so ago that he was an England international,' Moyes said, after the 3-0 win against the Blades on Monday.

'Overall he is a talented football player and we knew he could give us something different in the final third to add competition. There was a period when we weren't quite creative enough and I thought Jesse could give us a little bit of that.

'In the couple of games he has played he has done very well and hopefully the more he plays, the more he gets used to us, the more we get used to him he continues to improve.'
