# Uncapped Man United ace considered for shock England call-up

![Jesse Lingard](https://cdn.footballtransfertavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/4702392-500x312.jpg)Manchester United fans in the Transfer Tavern, along with the other England supporters around the bar, have been left stunned by reports to suggest the national boss could take a punt on an untested option.

[*The Daily Mirror*](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/manchester-uniteds-uncapped-jesse-lingard-7940188)[reports](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/manchester-uniteds-uncapped-jesse-lingard-7940188) that England boss Roy Hodgson is considering Manchester United’s Jesse Lingard as a potential member of his 23-man squad for the European Championships, despite the playing being inexperienced at a senior international level.

23-year-old Lingard was a part of England’s U21 squad for last summer’s Euros and was called-up to the senior Three Lions squad earlier this season, although he did not win a full cap and was ranked as an outsider in the bid to get on the plane for France.

However, a wealth of injuries have l[ed to Hodgson delaying his squad decision until Monday](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/manchester-uniteds-uncapped-jesse-lingard-7940188), with the announcement previously set for tomorrow, as England have a number of injury concerns- most notably regarding Arsenal’s Danny Welbeck, who has been ruled-out of contention, whilst Liverpool skipper Jordan Henderson continues to struggle.

The reports have led to some debate amongst the bar staff, with many suggesting a previous squad member, like Newcastle’s Andros Townsend, should get the nod, whilst others believe backing Lingard is a good call.
