Former Chelsea striker Tony Cascarino says Jesse Lingard should be selected ahead of Bruno Fernandes at Manchester United.

Cascarino claims Fernandes poses a "huge problem" for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer due to his lack of defensive efforts.

The No 10 role can be a luxury for struggling teams and that is the case for United at present," Cascarino told The Times .

" Bruno Fernandes does very little when he is not on the ball, and that is a huge problem given he should be providing United's first line of defence in midfield.

"Fernandes does not try to stop attackers by winning the ball back. By contrast, Jesse Lingard makes the No 10 role work for his team, as he has shown at West Ham and in flashes since returning to his parent club this summer."
