Manchester United striker, Romelu Lukaku has disclosed that Red Devils players want caretaker manager, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, to remain at Old Trafford once his current deal expires at the end of the season.
Lukaku said this following Manchester United’s 3-1 Champions League round of 16 second-leg victory over Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday night.
Two goals from Romelu Lukaku and a strike from Marcus Rashford ensured Manchester United dumped PSG out of the Champions League.
However, Juan Bernat Velasco did score for PSG at the Parc des Princes Stadium.
Solskjaer, who replaced Jose Mourinho at United last December, is expected to leave the club at the end of the season.
But Lukaku believes United are really doing well under their interim manager, adding that the club’s players want the Norwegian gaffer to stay at Old Trafford for many years.
Lukaku told Viasport: “I know Solskjaer is going to stay, there’s no doubt about that,”. “He wants to stay, the players want him to stay. We’re doing really well, we’re playing like Manchester United should play.
“He’s a young coach, he has young players as well so it’s the perfect environment to develop and hopefully win trophies in the future.
“A lot of hard work, especially with the coach. As I said, I’m really glad to work with him and he understands me and he knows what I can do,” Lukaku added.
“He gave me a good platform to perform, and as a team, because football is a team sport, as a team he keeps us really hungry.
“We want more. Even though we won today, we have another important game at the weekend. Let’s enjoy this today, and then on Friday when we come back to training, we’ll prepare for the next game.”
