Jesse Lingard gives Jose Mourinho an injury scare as Juan Mata eyes Manchester United lifeline


JESSE LINGARD is a big doubt for Manchester United’s opener today — after limping out of training yesterday.

The winger, who opened the scoring in United’s 2-1 victory over Leicester in the Community Shield, has damaged a foot.

He suffered the initial injury at Wembley but it flared up again before the Red Devils travelled to Bournemouth.

Boss Jose Mourinho will make a final decision this morning and if Lingard does not make it, it could mean a reprieve for United outcast Juan Mata.

The Spanish midfielder was livid when he was sent on as a sub against the Foxes, only to be dragged off by Mourinho in the final minute.

Memphis Depay, Ashley Young and new signing Henrikh Mkhitaryan are alternatives.
