Jesse Lingard was every inch the proud dad as he walked out onto the pitch with his daughter Hope, at the Seoul World Cup Stadium in South Korea on Friday.

Jesse shares his daughter with his ex, fitness model Rebecca Halliday, with the pair splitting after a short-lived romance.
Jesse and Hope were all smiles as they looked out to the crowds with his daughter also dressed in a matching football strip.
At one point, he put her down on the ground so she could wave with glee to the hoards of football fans.

The England star also took to social media to reflect on the poignant moment he shared with his little girl.
He wrote on Instagram: ‘Special special night walking out with my princess’.
The footballer is no stranger to sharing snaps of himself and his little girl.
Just days ago, he shared one as they geared up for the matches abroad as they looked excited ahead of the event.
He captioned that post: ‘We can go soul for Seoul’.’
Once they arrived in Seoul, Jesse shared a mirror selfie of them both striking a silly pose.
He captioned that post: ‘She my twin fr’ and emblazoned his post with a red heart emoji.
