Jesse Lingard reveals Jose Mourinho would make 'random FaceTime calls' to his Manchester United players to check in on them as he opens up on his former manager's caring side

Jesse Lingard has opened up on 'random FaceTime calls' with Jose Mourinho as the Manchester United star revealed how support from Bruno Fernandes helped him regain his 'aura' on the pitch.

Lingard, 28, has enjoyed a sensational 2021, with a strong loan spell at West Ham seeing the creative midfielder earn a recall to Gareth Southgate's England squad, while Barcelona and AC Milan are reportedly monitoring the United star.

It has been some turnaround for the Englishman. Lingard enjoyed a strong couple of seasons at United under Mourinho, before injuries and personal issues derailed his career and put him on the outskirts of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's plans.
