Man Utd striker Lukaku: I'll play where I'm told

Manchester United striker Romelu Lukaku says he is ready to play where he's needed.

After being a regular under Jose Mourinho, Lukaku has been primarily used as a substitute by interim manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

However, injuries saw Lukaku start alongside Marcus Rashford as a front two in last night's win over Chelsea. And the Belgian is happy with whatever role Solskjaer wants him to fill.

He said: "I can play however the manager needs me to if it's alone or with Marcus behind me or out wide. As long as the manager needs me, I'm ready to play.

"You just have to be professional and give it our best when your chance comes. That's my mindset and I'm just taking it a day at a time."
