Man Utd attacker Lukaku fine with bench role: I'm always ready

Romelu Lukaku says he's always ready to score goals for Manchester United.

The Belgian came off the bench to score in United's 2-0 win over Bournemouth on Wednesday night.

He told BT Sport: "At half-time the manager told Paul (Pogba) to keep making those runs, he did and played a perfect pass which I was able to finish off.

"It was really important that we won today and now we're well prepared for this weekend. As a player you always want to play and you always have to be ready."
