Man United Are Performing Well Without Lukaku, Says Solskjaer

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer insists Manchester United in their pre-season tour are not hurt with the absence of striker Romelu Lukaku.

Lukaku is yet to feature for the Red Devils in their on-going pre-season campaign, having been ruled out with injury and his manager believes the side are performing well without him.

When quizzed on the absence of Lukaku after a win over Antonio Conte’s Inter Milan on Saturday, Norwegian trainer Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said;

"I think we have done really well without Romelu, but we all know he is one of the top, top strikers in the world," he told a media conference.

"We played a different way, maybe, with Anthony [Martial], Marcus [Rashford] and Mason. 

"As a coach you adapt to the players that are available. We're looking forward to the game against Tottenham [on Thursday] and let's see who is available for that game.

"If you're a player and you don't manage to train for a week, and he's missed three games now, I think he'll be concerned.

"He's working to get back on the pitch and we'll see how long that takes."

Following the arrival of Solskjaer, Lukaku has enjoyed limited first-team opportunities, playing second fiddle to Marcus Rashford and is said to be angling for a move to Italian Serie A giants Inter Milan, a destination he suggests could be a first-team regular.

And with the transfer window still in progress, a move for the bulky striker is still possible as Conte previously regarded him as an important prospect to fit his squad.
