Manchester United midfielder Jesse Lingard admits ‘the luck’s not there at the moment’, urging his side to bounce back against West Ham United in the EFL Cup on Wednesday.

The Reds were left frustrated after their fourth consecutive home draw in the Premier League when they drew 1-1 with West Ham United on Sunday.

According to the 23-year-old they performed well against the Hammers, but lacked confidence in front of goal.

‘We’re playing really well but we keep drawing. The performances are there – it’s just [a matter of] putting the ball in the back of the net,’ Lingard told the Manchester United website.

‘It’s four draws in a row with numerous chances – the luck’s not there at the moment. But we have to concentrate on the game on Wednesday now.

‘We’ve got high standards this season and for every competition we’re in, our aim is to win. So, it’s good we have another game so quickly and we want to bounce back against West Ham.’

Manchester United against West Ham United kicks off at 22:00.
