Lingard scored the opening goal for United in their 2-1 Community Shield victory against Leicester in this season's curtain-raiser at Wembley.

And of course he bagged the winner last season as United won the FA Cup with a 2-1 victory against Crystal Palace.

It was a sweet goal too, crashing the ball home on the volley with his right foot.

Today at Wembley, Lingard had hardly been involved in the game before he cut inside and curled the ball past Fraser Foster in the Southampton goal.

Speaking about the goal at half-time, Phil Neville, who was on the Sky Sports pundit panel, said: "It was a brilliant finish on a big occasion.

"It was the first time we've seen Lingard as he has spent most of the time defending as Southampton were so good."
