Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was full of praise for Romelu Lukaku after the Belgian striker netted a brace in last night’s 3-1 victory over Crystal Palace.
Lukaku has not been prolific this season at all. However, he produced a fine performance last night as Manchester United beat Crystal Palace 3-1 to register their 8th successive away win, a club record.
Following the match, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer praised Lukaku. The Norwegian said, “He was through the middle. We created chances for him, he put them away well. He’s done loads of running up and down the line, right wing, left wing. He’s had a different role because of Rash’s form.
He got a chance up front. Two very good finishes, could have had another one as well earlier on, so I’m very pleased for Rom. He is a quality finisher. It’s great to have him around the place, always happy, always working on his finishing. He’s played more than you think, but he’s played wide right, wide left, so it’s Rash’s form that has moved him out there. Now with Rash’s injury he grabbed the chance.”
Manchester United remain 5th in the league table as Arsenal thrashed Bournemouth 5-1 last night. The Red Devils next take on Southampton on Saturday before playing the away leg of their Champions League last 16 tie against PSG on Wednesday.
