Lingard replaced Juan Mata at half-time on Saturday and played the second half of United's 3-0 win at Goodison Park.
It was the first time the 22-year-old had played for United since suffering a serious knee injury on his debut against Swansea on the opening day of last season.
Lingard played a significant part in United's pre-season tour after returning from last year's loan deal at Derby and is now hoping to gain more minutes under Louis van Gaal this term.
"I want to be doing this week in, week out, playing for Man Utd," the midfielder said after the victory on Merseyside.
