Manchester United forward Jesse Lingard was relieved to break his goalscoring drought against Astana on Thursday.

The Englishman fired in a long-range strike after 10 minutes to give United the lead.

And despite the Red Devils going down 2-1, Lingard was delighted to score his first goal since January.

"It's always good to get off the mark and it gives you a bit of confidence," he told MUTV after the game.

"We started off quick and we dominated the first half, but it's that 30-second period in the second half where I thought we could have managed the game a bit better.

"It's not an easy place to come," he added. "Their tails were up, they had the fans backing them and it was a hostile environment. But everyone kept their heads, everyone's mentality was right."
