Nottingham Forest boss Cooper: Man Utd trip special for Lingard

Nottingham Forest boss Steve Cooper says Manchester United on Tuesday will be a big moment for Jesse Lingard.

Lingard will play against his former club for the first time in his career.

Cooper said, "I hope we're all motivated to go to Old Trafford to play. Jesse has been there for a long time, so it will be an important day for him.

"At the same time, he and everyone else must focus on what we can control ourselves, and that is our form.

"No matter which team I choose for the match, the boys must concentrate from start to finish.

"Jesse has a lot of experience and he has played big matches before, and he knows how to best concentrate on the field."
