Van Gaal highlights importance of CSKA Moscow match [AMBIENT]
Louis Van Gaal kept faith in attacking midfielder Lingard after the Warrington-born 22-year-old impressed as a half-time substitute for Mata in the 3-0 win at Everton on Saturday.
That was only Lingard's second ever first team appearance. His first outing came on the opening day of last season - Van Gaal's first official game in charge - but was curtailed by a serious knee injury in the defeat to Swansea.
