I have had to work hard to get in the starting XI for England.
— Jesse Lingard
It's always good to have a happy camp.
I moved when I was about 12 years old: different school, had to live in digs. It was harder for my family, but eventually, they understood it was a path that Manchester United had made for me. I had to stick to it, and it has paid off.
I'm always up to no good, messing about.
When you get older, you realise it's all about winning games and winning trophies.
I think, when I was younger and I was on loan, I used to get nervous before games, but as you get older, you adapt to it, and it becomes second nature to walk out onto the pitch and perform.
I had a little ladybird ball in the back garden; I think I was about one. I started off early.
Always positive vibes in the Lingard camp.
You've got to be a role model to the younger generation who look up to you, but it's always good to have fun. That's what the goal celebrations are about, really.
You've got to do the job on the pitch. First and foremost, I put in 100 percent, and I don't think anyone can really complain after that.
Healthy competition is always good for us. It helps the squad as well with the depth.
You're always disappointed not to start for your country, but that's the gaffer's decision.
Ryan Giggs pretty much won everything there is to win in the game. He made over 900 appearances for the club and always stayed loyal to Manchester United, which is really impressive.
There's no better feeling than winning a trophy in front of your fans when they're celebrating.
We can't let the fans influence how we play.
It definitely gives us a lot of confidence to be playing for Manchester United as a youngster, and, as long as you keep working, you are always going to get your chance.
It's good to keep working hard, pushing yourself, and, by scoring goals, you get the reward.
It's always good for us to score as attacking players and to help the team get the three points.
I think confidence plays a massive part. If you go into a game confident, you will try things, and they will come off.
I like to body pop.
The first few seasons, I was just getting used to the Premier League.
Once you play, you've got to show the manager what you can do.
It's always in the back of your mind that you want to stay at United, and you want to play for United.
Paul Scholes was the main figure for me growing up. His attitude, he's humble off the pitch - you didn't hear much about him - but on the pitch, he was loud, aggressive, liked to tackle, and I learned off him.
I like to put a smile on people's faces.
I listen to both, but more grime before matches to get you kind of pumped up. But then I might switch to the U.S. hip hop to just vibe out.
I think people can be quick to judge. The people that know me, they know what I am like.
Man United is one of the biggest clubs in the world, and we're going to attract the best players.
To come through the ranks and play for your boyhood club is a dream come true.
If you want to be the best team in the world, you've got to beat the best teams.
Pressure is good.
I have always wanted to play for United, and when I got my chance, I knew I had to take it no matter what, so you go out with no pressure.
When you actually get on the field, you've got to work. You've got to train. You've got to learn. You've got to put 100 per cent into it.
Every game, you've got to play with no fear.
I just want to assist and score goals to help the team.
Obviously, there will be different character traits in the dressing room, but I'm there to bring happiness and a smile.
Sometimes I can switch into clever mode.
It was a great experience under Van Gaal. He gave you the confidence to go and play.
At a big club, sometimes you are going to be in, and sometimes you are going to be out, but it's how you deal with that.
For Birmingham, I scored four on my debut. It's not bad. First one was a tap-in; it set me up nice for the day, and I think I got a hat-trick in 13 minutes. So obviously I was cruising, then got one in the second half and came off!
I first realised I was good at football when I started getting scouted by United, Liverpool, Everton; clubs like that had a lot of interest at an early age, and you kind of know then you're on the right path. I was about six years old and had to sign a contract at nine.
I think if you score, you've got to have fun; otherwise, what's the point?
It's always going to be hard when you see the other team lifting a trophy. When you have to walk up those stairs and collect the runners-up medal, it's hard.
We enjoy playing matches; that's why we play football.
I've won a lot of trophies - like the FA Youth Cup and the reserves league a couple of times - but it would top it off to win the Premier League with the first team.
I try to enjoy it as much as I can every time I play and get the fans off their feet and try to score some goals.
Winning trophies is the main thing: that's why you play for Man United.
I think United always had a plan for me. They nurtured me.
You train hard all week, and in your downtime, you can relax with your friends and have fun.
I want to play every game, obviously.
