Jesse Lingard loves having fun

Whether he's scoring lovely goals, dancing and generally smiling a lot while taking the mick out of Marcus Rashford on Instagram, Jesse Lingard is a young man who just wants to have a good time. A video which has resurfaced this week gives yet another example of the 25-year-old living his very best life, as well as provoking a slightly different conversation to when it was first uploaded. The video went viral last year but came to light again after footage emerged at the weekend of Liverpool striker Mohamed Salah using his phone while in his car in traffic, at the same time as supporters are attempting to ask for an autograph. In it Lingard is seen driving around, before deciding to turn up to a neighbourhood, pull up next to some children playing on the street, and proceeded to have a kickabout with said kids. Its resurgence has prompted comparisons between the reactions by Salah and that of Lingard when approached by supporters, and unsurprisingly fans have had their say about it, with many believing it to be unreasonable for players to be expected to respond to each and every approach by fans. https://twitter.com/lperiOfficial/status/1029280750028382208 https://twitter.com/RyanHez1/status/1029293842141532160 https://twitter.com/adamswest_/status/1029319174869458944 https://twitter.com/adams_nick97/status/1029336059958710274 https://twitter.com/JordanWebber96/status/1029329406500724738 https://twitter.com/GranitJacka/status/1029320094554439680
