Discussing his rise to prominence with the national side, Scholes also suggested that Gareth Southgate placing more trust in his abilities than United manager Jose Mourinho may be a factor in this.
"His form for England has been fantastic," Scholes continued. "Possibly, the manager for England has a little bit more belief in him than his club manager.
"It always seems when things aren't going well for Man United he's the first man taken off. But with England, Gareth really believes in him and gives him confidence... He's really flourishing and thriving in that kind of atmosphere."https://twitter.com/5liveSport/status/1011881702178713600 Despite Scholes' comments, it's worth noting that Lingard scored 13 times for United over the last season, comfortably his best return in a United shirt. Under Mourinho, he's been a regular starter for the club. As for England, with qualification for the last 16 stage already secured, they will play their final group game of the World Cup against Belgium on Thursday to decide who will finish top. Although its known their opponents in the first knockout stages will come from Group H, it's still unclear who it will be. Other than Poland, who have already been eliminated, Colombia, Senegal and Japan are all in with a chance of qualifying.
