Ole Gunnar Solskjaer reveals why Man Utd can deal with injuries Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was keen to remind people exactly what the name Manchester United means after their 3-1 win at Crystal Palace. After struggling in the opening exchanges the visitors netted a vital opener as Luke Shaw dribbled to the edge of the box, before picking out Romelu Lukaku who finished on his weaker right foot. Lukaku would net his second with 52 minutes gone, as a game of head tennis from a corner allowed the ball to break kindly for the striker to smash home. Joel Ward would grab one back for the hosts sending nerves around the United camp, but veteran Ashley Young would pop up with a priceless strike to make 3-1 at full-time. Speaking to via BBC Sport, Solskjaer stressed that being Manchester United means they have quality and depth, two vital elements of the victory after their squad was ravaged by injuries. “It’s a great away win. We controlled it well. That’s a few away wins on the bounce, Fred and Scott McTominay haven’t played much and we got another debut for one of the kids coming through too in James Garner,” he said. “It’s Manchester United, we do have a quality squad and quality players and we will continue to bring players through. Every team in the league will have injuries at this time of the season.” Lukaku has been a peripheral figure in the Red Devils side since Solskjaer took over, but his manager was full of praise at full-time. “Lukaku had two good goals and his link up play was very good too, he is working hard in training and has been playing well,” he explained. “He’s had to play wide for me and had many defensive duties so I’m happy for him playing as a number nine. “It’s always good to see players taking their chance. that’s what it’s about at this club, when you get your chance, grab it.” Fancy the best United news direct to your Facebook timeline?
