Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has explained the reason for Romelu Lukaku’s sudden upturn in form that has seen him hit the goal trail for Manchester United.
The Belgium international has plundered six goals in his last three matches, including a brace in United’s stunning 3-1 victory against Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League on Wednesday.
And Solskjaer thinks that allowing Lukaku to play in his more natural position around the box has helped.
“I don’t think a lot has changed, been asked to play wide a few times provide more chances but now hes more in and around the box,” Solskjaer told reporters.
“We played with two up at PSG and they might form a very nice partnership together, wouldn’t like them two to be running at me.”
On his team selection before the Red Devils’ match with Arsenal over the weekend, Solskjaer added: “Same decisions you always have when you go into a game you’ve got to consider their approach, systems, is impossible to predict they change a lot, look at who’s fit and how we approach the game.
“Different kind of systems or counter attacking game or a different type of game but now of course fitness issue plays in more than ever, got players coming in, players who put a shift in, one of the hardest nights we had physically.
“Probably this one and the Arsenal cup game were the two toughest games we had. Scott [McTominay] and Fred covered the ground so much and is something we have to consider.”
