Jesse Lingard's reaction to Manchester United's victory over PSG

Jesse Lingard celebrated wildly at home as Manchester United shocked Paris Saint-Germain.

The England international was out with a hamstring injury, but could not control his emotions as Marcus Rashford stepped up to dispatch the spot kick to take Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side into the last eight.

Romelu Lukaku's double sandwiched Juan Bernat's goal in the first half to give United a chance.

But when Presenl Kimpembe blocked Diogo Dalot's shot with his arm, a penalty was awarded in stoppage time after a lengthy delay to check with VAR.

Rashford grabbed the ball and smashed it home, inflicting more Champions League misery on PSG and triggering Lingard to run around his lounge, screaming with delight.

Lingard wrote alongside the video: "Love it lads, absolutely love it. Believe. United mentality. Gassed."

During the video, which can be seen above, Lingard can be heard shouting, "Go on the boy!"

The 26-year-old is expected to recover from his hamstring problem in time to feature in the last eight.

And he could return as early as Sunday in the crunch top four encounter with Arsenal at the Emirates.
