Romelu Lukaku Opens Up on Changed Role Under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as Injury Crisis Hits Man Utd

Romelu Lukaku has insisted that he doesn't mind where he plays for Manchester United, saying that just being on the pitch for the club is an 'honour' as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer deals with an attacking injury crisis.

Marcus Rashford, Jesse Lingard and Juan Mata picked up injuries against Liverpool on Sunday afternoon and, with Anthony Martial already sidelined, Lukaku has been shunted around the front three as required to fill the gaps in the formation.

The 25-year-old has started just 15 Premier League games this season and is on track to score fewer than 15 league goals for just the second time since he became a regular starter in the top flight back in 2012/13, but he insisted this week that he's ready to do what's needed for the team.
