Man Utd coach Scholes tells Jesse Lingard size doesn't matter


Manchester United coach Paul Scholes sees no reason why Jesse Lingard can't make it at Old Trafford.

The diminutive winger is on the fringes of the first team this season.

Scholes told manutd.com: "He’s very comfortable on the ball, he can glide past people, he’s very fit and as he’s shown in the last few [Reserve] games he’s capable of scoring goals. Barcelona have shown what can be achieved with small players who are comfortable on the ball.

"It’s been good for the likes of Larnell (Cole) and Jesse. They’re not overly big, not big, strong physical players, they’re just really nice footballers who are comfortable in possession."
