The Premier League’s comeback star talks mental health and his journey
Jesse Lingard has been the comeback story of the season, with 9 goals and 3 assists in 10 matches since joining West Ham on loan in January. But prior to that, Lingard had been under pressure after a drop in form at United. In a new interview, Lingard opens up on that period, during which his family’s mental health struggles weighed heavily on him, and the impact of that on his own mental health.
“I want to change people’s lives and inspire others to start opening up, cause I’ve been through it and I know what it’s like to bottle things up, so if I can pass on the information to anyone who’s going through mental health issues, it’ll make me smile,” said Lingard, on why he decided to share his story.
