Watching Belgium, is there anyone other than Ole who thinks Rashford is a better centre forward than Lukaku?

Lukaku was bang average for us. Amazed we got the money for him what we did. He never was the Messiah and isn’t now.

Lukaku scores goals i think selling him and giving the cf role to martial was a bad call.

Case of sour grapes for all who are now claiming Lukaku wasnt good at United or wasnt a "fit" for United. Considering the fact that he banged in 27 goals with 9 assists in his first season under Jose. Second season it was Ole the great who decided that Rashford and Martial were better than Lukaku and then he hardly played and still scored 15 that season. Guess what, now we are struggling to find a decent striker. Its not Lukakus fault that the team couldn't create chances. Lukaku has more goal scoring ability than Rashford and Martial combined. Wonder what Ole saw in Ighalo and Josh King that was missing in Lukaku.

The manager was unable to see how he could coach Lukaku to improve, didn’t know how. Conte did. The manager thought Martial and then Ighalo were better, maybe Ighalo supporting the club meant he wouldn’t question the coaching.

Someone had a good game on the telly against an average defence 😂 he was crap for us, we moved on, not the end of the world, didn’t see many crying when he left.

{Ed014's Note - for someone who loved quoting stats to show how good OGS apparently was as a striker, you conveniently ignore those given by UA for Lukaku. Weird🤔

Good game on the telly? He scored goals and just won the league in Italy! He plays centre forward for the worlds number one rated team or are Belgium not that now?

The key point here is not that he was sold, it was that Ole decided Martial, who he loudly lauded and then Ighalo were better, Ole thought Lukaku didn’t need replacing. That judgement was not just a bad call, it was shockingly poor but Ole will get away with it because of who he is.

Lukakus touch was not great but Conte, being a real manager and coach worked on it.

The year after Lukaku left, Rashford and Martial both hit 17 in the league, as many as Lukaku ever did in the league for United. That was the year Mase also banged in 10 in the league. We moved to a different style with a fluid forward line - unfortunately Martial seems to have massively regressed but for the year after Lukaku left, we were completely vindicated in his sale with all our forwards chipping in and a season with an almost identical number of goals scored. This is also without taking into account the behind the scenes issues and his fall out with Pogba. He was a good player for us, but not the best fit. No hard feelings, I'm happy to see him doing well and won't bear him any ill will (until he signs for City! ) .

Was he that crap for us? Scored more in his two season than ole one of our best ever (apparently) did in any of his 2 seasons combined.
He is not easy on the eye a lot of the time but he is a good striker with guaranteed goals.
Not sure he is ideal for oleball so that's obviously what was in the managers mind when selling him. The error was thinking martial was a better cf.

that's nothing new for him is it though? He ignores what doesn't suit his agenda. The day Ole wins something (huge IF of course) he would even tell us Ole is better than SAF.

Ed,

I didn’t ignore the stats, I just thought he wasn’t great for us and nobody moaned when he was sold, didn’t fit the style of play, first touch was appalling, his stats were ok as they always will be, he’s a good goalscorer, just wasn’t for me as he wasn’t for many of the other ‘real’ fans 😉😘.

How do you know nobody moaned? I was very angry about that and posted here too. Lukaku never should have been sold for Martial to take over his place. Lukaku was a hardworking player and is a good human as well. His poor second season was still better than 4 out 5 of the seasons we had with martial.
