United haven't been too active in the transfer market this summer, which bodes well for players like Jesse Lingard. The 25-year-old Englishman has really grown into his role at Old Trafford in recent years and has had a fantastic twelve months, enjoying his most prolific season ever and then jetting off to Russia to be a key part of England's run to the semi-finals.

Lingard amassed 128 fantasy points last season, scoring eight times and assisting six more goals. Unlike certain other midfielders, he also times his tackles well and kept his cool over the course of last season, only picking up two yellow cards.

£7m is a great price for such a high potential player, as there's a good chance that Lingard will continue to develop at United in the coming months. He is often used as a sub so might miss out on a few of those bonus points for playing 60 minutes or more, but tends to have a big impact on games more often than not and should continue to be one of United's better players this season.
