Jesse Lingard is determined to make himself a regular at Manchester United.

The former United manager said he believed Rooney would always be regarded as a “traitor” for leaving Goodison for Old Trafford in 2004, but relations between the 29-year-old and the Everton supporters have thawed recently.
“Received this video from a good friend”.
“That is also why I changed Herrera”. Van Gaal, who also delivered a positive update on Luke Shaw’s fitness, said that he “did not want to discuss” reports about Depay’s character, and retained his belief in the player.
Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal has warned Memphis Depay he must adapt to the club or he could follow Angel di Maria and Falcao out of the club.
The result means United are still just two points off league leaders Manchester City, although Herrera acknowledges that the Red Devils will have to raise their game further if they are to sustain a challenge to their arch-rivals.
Louis van Gaal felt Rooney had answered his critics with his second league goal of the season and backed the forward to carry on finding the net for the rest of the campaign. “I couldn’t sit here and say I am going to play five or ten more years, but it’s something which I have not even thought about”, he added.
Everton responded impressively after the break and showed more heart, but they had precious little end product and Rooney sealed United’s win in the 62nd minute, charging through on goal to comfortably beat Howard.
“He scored now. I am very happy for him”.
“I am a very happy coach because I have seen a lot of good individual players in my team”.
First-half goals by Morgan Schneiderlin, his first for the club, and Ander Herrera and Wayne Rooney’s rare away strike after the interval made a tricky-looking fixture appear easy.
“It is more than a response”, he said.

It was one of Rooney’s better performances of the season, and Herrera says Rooney “has always helped him a lot” since he joined United last summer.
