"He’s (Zlatan Ibrahimovic) been a leader for the team, especially when the captain’s not playing; he’s stepped up and he’s really led the team," Lingard told reporters on Wednesday. 

"The young lads look up to him and most of the older lads do as well. We’ve seen what he’s done in his career and obviously he wants to win trophies for United as well.

"He helps the young lads a lot; he’s taught us, especially me, Marcus [Rashford], Paul Pogba and [Tim Fosu-] Mensah, and helped us through the games. If we’re going through a sticky patch, he’s always there for us and is always there for the team.

"We’ve done our research, we’ve watched videos on Zorya and we’ll be well prepared, But first and foremost we think about us, our performance and our winning mentality.

"We need to get the three points but we know it’s going to be a difficult game. Hopefully we can perform like we did against Leicester."

MATA'S POSITIVE OUTLOOK PAYING OFF

Juan Mata's positive outlook usually stands him in good stead and his refusal to be too downbeat after the recent bad run of form was clear to see in his outstanding display against Leicester City last time out.

The Spaniard scored a beautiful strike and set up Marcus Rashford's effort during the 4-1 victory over the champions as the Reds followed up the EFL Cup win at Northampton Town with three important points in the Premier League.

Ahead of the Zorya Luhansk encounter, Mata spoke to United Review, the official matchday programme, and was asked if his calm approach, illustrated in his weekly blog, has proved beneficial throughout his career.

"Well, I think it is how I feel about the best way to deal with things, especially bad situations and bad results," he said. "What I try to stress in the blog is to be positive and wait for good things. I think they will come if you work well and if you are honest in your work and do everything for the team. 

"As a group of people, we’re trying to do our best to bring happiness to the fans and I think these good things will come. That is what I try to spread, to cheer the fans up when they perhaps don’t want to read a blog or see anything when we lose. Obviously, they just want to see us winning games but there is a way I can do something, through that post and message, to try to tell them how I feel. Thank you for your support and sorry for the bad moments but we will be happy together very soon for sure, like we were last weekend."

The Europa League clash with Zorya represents another opportunity to put on an impressive display before Stoke City provide the opposition at the weekend. The Ukrainians are second in their league behind dominant force Shakhtar Donetsk and played well in drawing 1-1 with Fenerbahce in their Group A opener.

"We know they are going to be tough," added Mata. "I guess they will be a very physical side but we know we have to win as, when we are playing away in Ukraine, the conditions will be very difficult. We want to be first in the group and, after getting no points at Feyenoord, we need the victory."

RASHFORD UP FOR GOLDEN BOY AWARD

Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford's incredible rise to prominence in world football following a memorable few months impressing for club and country has been further recognised after he was nominated for the 2016 Golden Boy award.

The 18-year-old has scored 12 goals in 25 games for the Reds since netting a double on his debut back in February. He also marked his senior England game with a goal and fired a hat-trick on his Under-21s bow.

Rashford is one of 40 names in contention for the Golden Boy prize, which was established by Tuttosport in 2003 and is voted for by journalists from 30 European newspapers.

The annual gong honours the best player under 21 to play in a European nation’s top tier and last year's winner was none other than Rashford's United team-mate Anthony Martial. Among the players competing with Rashford for the accolade this time are Arsenal's Alex Iwobi, Tottenham's Dele Alli, Manchester City duo Kelechi Iheanacho and Leroy Sane, Liverpool's Marko Grujic, Borussia Dortmund's Ousmane Dembele and Bayern Munich's Renato Sanches.

Previous winners include Paul Pogba (2013), Lionel Messi (2005) and Wayne Rooney (2004), and this year's winner will be announced in December.

The performance has been lethargic thus far...

The lads are just passing the ball around the pitch - no real penetration & urgency
