Lukaku was the best crosser we had in our front three. That was not his main job, I agree. But, there have been several insinuations that all lukaku could do at United was score tap ins.
Honestly, Lukaku used to create a lot of chances in the final third. I feel he was more of threat when he was coming from the right, than any other player in our team coming from anywhere.
I agree he was a flawed player, touch was inconsistent and in some games he used to fade away. But, he still was our best threat in the final third. That says a lot about the quality players like lingard, martial and rash brought in the final third.
Many are questioning is selling him.
Many are saying that it was good that we sold him, but we dint replace him and that was the issue.
I think the question to ask is, amongst martial rash and lukaku. Should he have been the first to go?
