Romelu Lukaku has credited the one-to-one coaching of\u00a0Manchester United\u00a0interim manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer for his revival in goalscoring form.<\/p>\n

The Belgian was struggling for form this season\u00a0under previous manager Jose Mourinho, having scored just twice in all competitions in the three months preceding the manager’s sacking on Tuesday December 18.<\/p>\n

The 25-year-old is clearly learning from the best. As player, Solskjaer was renowned for his ability to come on as a substitute and make a scoring contribution, most famously in the 1999 Champions League final when the Norwegian’s\u00a0injury-time strike earned a famous 2-1 victory for the Red Devils.<\/p>\n

“In training you see he helps us a lot with finishing and how to strike the ball,”\u00a0Lukaku told MUTV<\/em>.<\/p>\n

“He knows I want to play through the middle, facing the goal at all times, he knows I’m really dangerous at that. But, also helping the team off the ball and things like that. He helps me a lot and I try to pay off with goals.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lukaku moved to Old Trafford 18 months ago for a fee of \u00a375 million\u00a0and has played 76 games in that time, scoring an impressive 36 goals.<\/p>\n

However, he has struggled for goals at times this season and went 12 games without scoring\u00a0earlier in the campaign.<\/p>\n

Despite the recent upturn in form, Lukaku appears to have dropped behind fellow striker Marcus Rashford in the pecking order and will hope to win his place back in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
