1996 – Jesse Lingard is the first @ManUtd player to score in the FA Cup final and subsequent Community Shield since Cantona in 1996. Kingly.

Lingard does it again at Wembley. Cut past Leicester players. A burst of pace. Super goal. His next job is welcoming his old mate Pogba back

An errant pass from Fellaini was punished by Jamie Vardy to level the scoreline. He has now scored 6 goals in his last 5 competitive games for Leicester City.

85 mins: Zlatan, who else?

Time and again, Zlatan has proved he is a player for the big occasion. He wasn’t spectacular in the entire match but when the team needed him to produced the winner. Zlatan gives the proper ariel threat that United have lacked for a long time.
