Manchester United ace set for huge bonus following England call up

Jesse Lingard has could make his England debut against France tomorrow night (8pm)

JESSE LINGARD is set to pocket £50,000 after being included in Roy Hodgson's latest England squad.

 

The 22-year-old has received his first call up to replace Michael Carrick after he suffered damaged ankle ligaments in Friday's 2-0 defeat by Spain.

England take on France tomorrow night (8pm) in a friendly at Wembley, and if Lingard features he could earn himself a handy Christmas bonus.

The Manchester United midfielder has a clause in his Old Trafford contract that grants him a one-off payment when he earns his first international cap, according to the Daily Star.

 

Lingard has been in impressive form for the Red Devils, despite only appearing seven times for them in his career.

The winger - a United academy graduate - has spent loan spells at Leicester City, Birmingham, Brighton & Hove Albion and Derby County.

 

Lingard celebrates scoring against West Brom earlier this month

But the youngster looks set to be included in Louis van Gaal's plans this season after scoring a stunning goal in their 2-0 win over West Brom earlier this month.

Lingard has made 11 appearances for England Under 21s but this is his first time with the senior squad.

Leicester striker Jamie Vardy has also been ruled out of tomorrow's match after failing to recover from a knock he picked up playing for his club before the international break.
