I think Sanchez starts but he's a sub.
Can we keep £90m Lukaku on the bench?

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
Now you've done it.
When he's scoring goals and winning matches he's only 75m. When he's a flop he's 90m. That's how this works.
Fcukinell the state of this thread. In a short while it'll be all roses in here and the next player will be getting thoroughly and overly rinsed.
No support from these supporters...
Out of form? Failed to deliver a few games in row? Fcuk you, get rid, sack fergie, sell giggs!!1
Father ted.
I agree with your point. Still a decent striker. But i doubt he will be too happy playing second fiddle to Rashers.
Feels like how the papers are always reporting us with these inflated wages and transfer fees
They are making a point by using a gross exaggeration.
He has proved that he is a goal scorer at PL level, and a good player, however the limitations in his touch and movement don't suit our play.
Delighted we have him as an option from the bench but I guess he will want to move on next year.
Overall? I agree. I'm not sure if he's good enough to be the starting striker at a club who wants to be at the top, but he's quite a good player who hasn't suited the football we've tried to play since he joined us.
But he has been every bit as bad as people are saying this season. I would honestly be surprised if he hasn't been the worst regular starter in the entire premier league.
Why do we always end up paying over the odds for strikers who turn out to be dog shit and then we offload them for peanuts.
When will the club learn from its past mistakes, seems like they are on-going.
Rom needs off loading asap he's shocking value for money.

Always said Lukaku is a great wide option.
Can we play 90m Lukaku on the right wing ?
Not sure he would be good if he started wide right but when he pulls into that channel he's lethal. It gives him the chance to hit full speed which along with his size must be terrifying for the LB. Plus his crossing is quality.
he is actually in the game out wide
What strikers are you referring to? Falcao was a loan and he's the only one in recent memory who was "dog shit"
Poor Lukaku holding his arms wide for a celebration after 2nd assist only for Jesse to run past him like he is a rock.
I think that was more of a "feck the haters" moment than a "celebrate with me" one.
Looks dangerous from the right wing, with a nice cross on him
Only person who thought that
I think Rashford and Martial are first choices up front just now, but having the likes of Lukaku and Sanchez to come in gives OGS some serious flexibility in the forward areas.
It is amazing when you consider that he was one of Mourinho's favourites but now looks twice the player - at least - under Solskjaer and like everyone else looks so much happier and playing with a smile on his face. His two assists tonight so far were sublime, looks like there is a player in there after all. Hopefully the prospect of trying to sell him and get back anywhere near the huge outlay on him won't now materialise.

Always has tbf. It's his first touch that's the problem, not his final one.
And who should sub in for Lukaku and Sanchez with 15' to go?
Exactly. United's current attacking options are as good as any in the PL just now.
What are SSN on about Lukaku loan deal?
His brother to Newcastle loan deal?
The lad did well tonight. He might not have scored but his contributions helped win us the game.
If there's a player in there Ole will find it 
Played well at times tonight, great option to have from the bench.
Fair fecks to him - I'm on record not being his biggest fan, but he did well out there in there within the remit he was given, and both his assists were wonderful and intentional.
