MANCHESTER, England – Romelu Lukaku is said to be ready to help Ole Gunnar Solskjaer through the injury crisis of Manchester United.
United lost Ander Herrera, Juan Mata and Jesse Lingard, hamstring injuries in the first half of the home draw against Liverpool on Sunday.
Marcus Rashford was injured in the ankle after a heavy challenge from Jordan Henderson, while Anthony Martial and Nemanja Matic are dismissed from the groin problems.
That means Solskjaer is about to surrender at Crystal Palace on Wednesday, but the interim manager's headache gives striker Lukaku the chance to claim a spot.
"As long as the manager wants to use it, I will do my best to help the team," said the Belgian international.
"We have a number of injuries, we have to stay positive, we are Manchester United and you have to go wherever you go and win.
"Roy Hodgson will organize his team very well at the palace, we know we are going to get ready and we have to recover because [Liverpool] was a physical game.
"Tactically and with our preparations, we will be ready to start again."
After the draw against Liverpool, Solskjaer said United had played with "10 and a half years" after Rashford's injury at the start of the injury, forcing the 21-year-old to limp for 90 minutes.
To make up for it, Solskjaer asked Lukaku to play right in the second half, and the center forward said he would be happy to play an unknown role at Selhurst Park if necessary.
"To the left or to the right or to the front, it does not matter," he said. "Playing for this club is an honor and I'm just trying to do my best, regardless of where I play.
"If it 's right, I' ll try to create opportunities, which I 've done against Liverpool, and if it' s ahead, I 'll try to score goals. By the end of the day, I'm just trying to help my teammates and try to win games. "
The stalemate of Old Trafford prevented Liverpool from scoring three points ahead in the Premier League, but former Everton player, Lukaku, said that it was nil. Had not been his main motivation.
"Me and Liverpool, not really, but at the end of the day, we wanted to win for ourselves and for the badge," he said.
"Our job is to rank among the top four and we have to stay positive, we do not give up."
