Manchester United saw Jesse Lingard, Juan Mata, Ander Herrera and Marcus Rashford pick up injury during a goalless draw with arch-rivals Liverpool and Belgium striker, and Romelu Lukaku has claimed Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is prepared for situations like that.
The Red Devils went into the clash with their arch-rivals with a clearly defined plan of how they intended to set about claiming a positive result.
Lukaku said, “I think the coaching staff did a good job of telling us the indications of how to play and we were prepared for any situation.
“We did well as a team and, from this performance, what we have to take is that we can fight in whatever circumstances.
“If a player gets injured we can always make sure another player comes in and does a job, so I’m happy.”
“Everybody’s been talking about us being offensively a great team, but I think defensively we are doing a great job, as well.
“Look at how the defenders are playing. Chris Smalling coming in for the last three games and doing really well, so he raises the level as well.
“For the defenders the competition is great and for us up front as well. We have to keep performing how we are and make sure whatever situation we have, we control the game and try to win.”
