Man Utd urged by Cole to take FA Cup final gamble on 'fantastic' Lukaku

The Belgian striker is facing a race against time to be ready to face Chelsea, but a former Red Devils star says he would start him at 70 per cent

Romelu Lukaku has been “fantastic” for Manchester United this season and is worth an FA Cup final gamble even at 70 per cent, says Andy Cole.

The Belgian striker is still nursing an ankle problem and faces a race against time to prove his fitness ahead of a meeting with Chelsea at Wembley Stadium on Saturday.

Jose Mourinho has already conceded that the 25-year-old may only be ready for bench duty after sitting out three games at the end of the Premier League season.
