Don't panic, but Jesse Lingard has bagged himself an assist.

The Manchester United man has been in wretched form since the start of last season, and has come increasingly under fire for his performances.

A stat that went viral back in mid-August pointed out how the England international had not registered a league goal or assist this calendar year, and it looked highly unlikely the run would be ending anytime soon.

But in an incredibly early Christmas miracle, Lingard saw his lay-off finished off by Mason Greenwood in the clash against Rochdale in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday night.

After seeing the 26-year-old end his hoodoo, United fans took to Twitter to share their thoughts about the midfielder.

Many supporters of the Manchester side insisted Lingard has now returned to form and would be back to delivering his best.

Some Red Devils fans pointed out how United's next fixture is against Arsenal, and insisted the Englishman has timed his return to form perfectly.
