Manchester United are represented in the latest Premier League team of the week that has been selected by BBC pundit Garth Crooks following the clash with Chelsea.
Actually Garth is now down as a ‘Football Analyst’ these days, a posh term for a pundit then!
The performance by Romelu Lukaku in the two one victory over Chelsea at the weekend at Old Trafford was enough to earn them a place in the side alongside the other, in the opinion of the former Spurs striker anyway, most impressive performers in the topflight over the latest weekend.
I think we’ll already know ourselves, and not just based on the latest performance, why Crooks, we’ll also not argue with it, selected Lukaku as part of his team but explaining his choice he told the BBC.
‘Manchester United might be getting results but the quality of their performances, especially at Old Trafford recently, have been rubbish. Hardly surprising when you leave Marcus Rashford and Jesse Lingard out of the starting line-up at home. United fans must be getting very frustrated with these performances, but against Chelsea it was just as well Romelu Lukaku came to the rescue in more ways than one.’
It’s always good to see the club represented in this way, and well played to Lukaku for his recognition, but the most important thing about the weekend was of course the win.
Full Team:
Claudio Bravo (Manchester City), Eric Dier (Tottenham Hotspur), Virgil van Dijk (Liverpool), Vincent Kompany (Manchester City), Mohamed Salah (Liverpool), Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain (Liverpool), Willian (Chelsea), Andrew Robertson (Liverpool), Sergio Aguero (Manchester City), Romelu Lukaku (Manchester United), Glenn Murray (Brighton).
