Lingard played last night as England let a two-goal lead slip against Spain but Rooney was missing with a knee injury.
Pictures of Rooney appearing worse for wear have since emerged and the England captain has apologised for his behaviour.
But there was some light relief today as he met the X-Factor singer at the Manchester United training ground.
United face Arsenal in a huge match for Mourinho and his side.
Manchester United vs Arsenal - Premier League match preview
They trail league leaders Liverpool by eight points and six sixth in the Premier League after 11 games.
The win over Swansea was their first since September and questions are already being asked of Mourinho’s management.
He was scathing in his assessment of Luke Shaw and Chris Smalling’s decision to make themselves unavailable against Swansea.
And some are suggesting he may no longer be up to management at the top end of the game.
Former United defender Gary Neville admitted he is pleased that Mourinho is unhappy with the current situation.
"People say Jose Mourinho is not so happy at the moment, and to be honest with you I would be disappointed if he was happy, with some of the performances he has seen," Neville told Sky Sports.
"I think what he will be most concerned about at the moment is the inconsistency, the fact his team's performances fluctuate from being really good to being so bad.
"That's the worst thing for a manager or a player - inconsistency.
"You want to trust your players so they can produce a high level of performance week in, week out.
"That doesn't mean to say you have to always be at your best, but to get a very good minimum standard.
"He is right not to be happy, because he's seen different levels of consistency from the players."
