The Belgian beast is arguably one of the most important players of the setup at Old Trafford. Romelu Lukaku has managed to score eight times in the league, having been signed from Everton in the summer of 2017.

Lukaku has not yet found the desired consistency that the manager would like, and is one of the very few players to have not really improved under the Norwegian manager.

The 25-year-old is in the midst of a disastrous 7-game goal drought and his poor form has forced Solskjaer to look towards other options in the front line, with the likes of Rashford being the first choice now.

With a big reputation on his back, Lukaku can surely turn it around for himself and the Red Devils. United will need him to fire in the upcoming games against Chelsea, Liverpool and Crystal Palace in February to continue their unbeaten streak in the Premier League.
