Jesse Lingard simply does not care for yer da’s blood pressure
Jesse Lingard, occasional scorer of goals and frequent dancer of dances, was up to his old tricks on Friday night as Manchester United ran out 3-1 winners against Arsenal in the FA Cup.
Not content with scoring the second goal and put his team 2-0 to the good, Lingard took to one corner of the Emirates to a) dance and b) turn it into the angriest place in London outside of John Bercow’s House of Commons.
Unfortunately, Lingard’s Michael Jackson tribute was missed by television cameras who, weirdly, decided to focus on Romelu Lukaku’s celebration of ‘just standing there with his arms crossed’.
Fortunately, one fan did capture it, in all its gigantic-vein-throbbing-out-of-Piers-Morgan’s-forehead glory.
I mean, just look at this. Look at it. Absolutely. Dripping. In. The. Sauce.

And just to make sure yer da has seen it, and will get angry about it for absolutely no reason, Lingard shared the video himself (minus the quite frankly hilarious soundtrack of Arsenal fans losing their rag because someone is moonwalking at them) complete with an MJ hashtag and dancing emoji.

Arsenal fans have had to go through this with Lingard before, of course, and reacted about as well as you’d expect to the sight of a fairly slim man named Jesse just fucking giving it to them in the form of a dance move.

And there’s this, the icing on the cake. Tagging the Emirates as, simply: ‘Dancefloor’.

All rivalries aside, it’s great to see. I’m a football fan, but I’m a person first. And this sort of thing is just fantastic to see. Massive, massive respect. Absolutely class. More of this kind of needless shithousery please. I’d be sat here applauding if I wasn’t wiping a tear from my eye. Incredible gesture. This is what football is really about. Phenomenal.
