Romelu Lukaku has expressed his joy and determination at Old Trafford citing the team is rejuvenated under the new leadership.
The striker has often been moved into a wider role since Ole Gunnar Solskjaer took over in December, with mixed results.
Lukaku began centrally in the stalemate with Liverpool on Sunday but United’s first-half injury crisis and the fact that Marcus Rashford was carrying a knock of his own meant that the 21-year-old took the central striking berth after the break, with Lukaku on the right.
While the £75million man might prefer to be leading the line and scoring the goals, he is just as happy to try and turn creator and he showed it’s a role he can fill by fashioning United’s best chance against Liverpool with a clever pass to Jesse Lingard.
“Left or right or up front it doesn’t matter to me. Playing for this club is an honour and I just try to do my best in whichever position I play in,” Lukaku said.
“If it is on the right then I will try to create chances, which I did against Liverpool, and if it is up front then I will try to score goals. At the end of the day I just try and help my teammates out and try win matches.”
Romelu Lukaku is happy to continue playing on the wing if it helps United to win matches.
