Manchester United's striker is on hot form
Romelu Lukaku is in scintillating form right now. Everything he touches turns to gold and this is the reason why Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, as well as every United fan, deserves to be optimistic.

The Belgian has a fantastic combination of speed and power that can unsettle even the best of defense. Putting his physique in the mix makes things very interesting, but of late, Lukaku has fiercely improved his finishing abilities and has displayed a knack for goals that has won him a million more fans.
The United No. 9 is coming into this game on the back of two morale boosting goal scoring exploits. Lukaku scored four goals in his last two games - a brace each against Crystal Palace and Southampton. In both these games, he was the prime source of inspiration for his team and as such, he has to start through the middle against PSG.
A two point attack of Lukaku and Rashford could also work well. If United want to win this game, they need to put pressure on the PSG backline to the point of breakdown and Lukaku is perhaps their safest bet at that.

Deepungsu is a veteran football journalist who has been covering daily transfer roundups and news for over six years at Sportskeeda. He has written more than 9000 articles for the website, and has garnered over 20 million reads.
Deepungsu holds a PG degree in Microbiology and an MBA degree in Total Quality Management. He has an extensive two-decade long writing experience, which includes a decade of sports blogging. His writing prowess has even led his work getting cited on the legendary Franz Beckenbauer's Wikipedia page.
Inspired by Diego Maradona, Deepungsu played as an attacking midfielder for his local club at subdivision level in his initial years and scored an important goal or two. However, his all-time favorite footballer is Lionel Messi, and evidently, he feels Argentina's glory in 2022 is his favorite FIFA World Cup moment for fulfilling his long-standing dream. He is also an ardent East Bengal fan.
Deepungsu has been a Manchester United supporter since the year 2000. Unsurprisingly, his favorite manager is Sir Alex Ferguson and the Scotsman helped him get through some of the toughest days of his life. Like the fiery Scot, Deepungsu also leaves no stone unturned when it comes to accuracy in articles and only relies on credible sources.
Despite believing in Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland to create an iconic rivalry, Deepungsu reckons no one can match the longevity of Messi and Ronaldo. He spends his leisure time writing about life on his blog, reading books, and playing the guitar.
