The video was posted to Emmanuel Dennis’ Instagram account and shows some of the team humming the instrumental of the song.

After the club signed 23 players in an incredibly busy summer transfer window where the club spent £137million, fans reacted to Lingard’s song in a similar way.

They joked on Twitter: “Still making our way through the initiations.”

Another said: “The one positive of all the signings – we’ve got an initiation song for every away game.”

More responded: “By the time they finish with the summer signing initiation songs the January window will be open.”

It continued: “Long process if we only only on the L’s.”

A fellow new signing Remo Freuler is sat next to the performing Lingard and looked a little puzzled by the whole situation.

Forest fans commented on the ex-Atalanta star’s reaction saying: “Freuler regrets signing the contract.”

Another joked: “I reckon he was next.”

It appears that the Forest squad are beginning to gel off the pitch and that could help performances on it.

Manager Steve Cooper has just signed a new contract and stressed that he is still working out his best team.
