JESSE LINGARD celebrated his birthday with a hilarious lookalike cake after Manchester United’s 1-1 draw against Everton.
The stunningly accurate work of confectionery was shared by the Old Trafford ace on social media on his 27th birthday.

In the picture, Lingard held his hands in the ‘JL’ gesture — which he uses as part of his ‘JLingz’ brand.
The attention to detail was so spot on, he wore the same t-shirt, jeans and trainers as the cake, while is watch and wrist jewellery is also the same.
He said: “Thank you for all the birthday messages, really appreciate all the love and support #MoreLife.”
Best pal Marcus Rashford replied, saying: “Happy birthday bro.”
England aces Jadon Sancho and Tammy Abraham also replied in support, as did Holland and Barcelona legend Patrick Kluivert.
Lingard had his best game of the season as United stunned champions Manchester City with a brilliant 2-1 win at the Etihad last weekend.
But they found it hard to break down a stubborn Everton side at Old Trafford in Sunday’s 1-1 draw.
PROUD DAD
The Toffees took the lead through a Victor Lindelof own goal, but it appeared that keeper David de Gea was fouled in the build-up.
Lingard may have had a sore head on Monday though after Daniel James clobbered him in the face from close range with a thunderous drive.
He revealed last week that he has been enjoying time with his one-year-old daughter.
The England international said: “She takes my mind off a lot of things I’ve had to deal with. She is brilliant, a great part of my life.
“I just want to be there as a father to show her the right way. I want her to be proud.”
