Declan Rice has taken to Twitter to react after watching a 33-second video of Jesse Lingard in West Ham’s changing rooms.

The footage – filmed by Rice himself and put on Instagram – was reposted by Sky Sports, and showed Lingard dancing to Michael Jackson’s Billy Jean.

Impressively, the on-loan Manchester United forward can pull off a pretty good moonwalk, which leaves Rice in fits of laughter.

You can see Rice’s four-word reaction to the footage below.

It’s amazing to see just how quickly Lingard has settled into life in east London – he’s a real character, to say the least.

He seemingly has an infectious personality, which has helped the Hammers supporters – and Rice himself – warm to him almost immediately.

His stunning form on the pitch has also helped in that respect!

Lingard has remarkably scored eight goals in nine Premier League appearances, while also registering three assists in claret and blue.

Incredibly, despite kicking his first Premier League ball of the season in February, he has outscored Sadio Mane, Timo Werner, Kevin De Bruyne and Gareth Bale, among many more stellar names.

If he can keep his form up over the last seven games and fire West Ham into the Champions League, he will undoubtedly become an icon in east London.

That’s sure to happen regardless of whether he stays at the London Stadium, or returns to Old Trafford.
