Everyone seems to focus on the fact that Lukaku has never scored against a "top 4" club but that was re-written when he scored against Chelsea last week and set up Lingard for the winner.

He was also involved in two goals when United beat Arsenal 3-1 at the Emirates earlier this season and he provided the flick on for Martial to score the winner against Tottenham in October. Lukaku has scored or assisted the winning goal for United 5 times.

With Manchester United themselves scoring only once in 7 games away to City, Liverpool, Chelsea and Spurs, it is time we put Mourinho's approach in these games under the microscope instead of criticising a lone striker.
