Manchester United news: Romelu Lukaku display vs Liverpool like watching Xavi and Andres Iniesta, says Dimitar Berabtov
Former Manchester United star Dimitar Berbatov has likened Romelu Lukaku to Barcelona legends Xavi and Andres Iniesta.The striker has started Uniteds last three games due to injuries to Anthony Martial and Jesse Lingard, and the Belgium striker has taken his chance, scoring twice in a 3-1 win over Crystal Palace on Wednesday.Romelu Lukaku was Manchester United’s star man against Crystal Palace3

But it was the former Everton hitman’s clever pass to Lingard during a goalless draw against Liverpool last weekend that left Berbatov amazed.Berbatov, who played for United between 2008 and 2012, told Betfair: I like Romelu Lukaku and he’s earned a place in the first XI. He’s worked hard to be in the first-team, you could see it in his game at Selhurst Park.Andres Iniesta (left) and Xavi (right) were hugely successful at Barcelona3

The two goals he scored, the runs he made, the passion in his performance all showed to me that he had a place in the team. I would like to see him start against Southampton because he has earned it.And don’t make the mistake of thinking he has to play central. In modern football many teams play with three upfront and that trio can switch positions and confuse the opposition.Lukaku is capable of using the space really well when he drifts left or right and has made a few assists from those positions.The ball Lukaku played for Lingard against Liverpool, there aren’t many players who can make that pass. It was like watching Xavi or Iniesta! Lukaku is not one-dimensional like some people assume.Dimitar Berbatov won two Premier League titles with Manchester United3

Lukaku played as a makeshift winger against Liverpool to accommodate Marcus Rashford, who was carrying an ankle injury.But he returned to his central role at Selhurst Park where his goals ensured United maintained the pressure on fourth-placed Arsenal.Lukaku said: “Left or right or up front it doesnt matter to me. Playing for this club is an honour and I just try to do my best in whichever position I play in.“If it is on the right then I will try to create chances, which I did against Liverpool, and if it is up front then I will try to score goals.At the end of the day I just try and help my team-mates out and try to win matches.Lukaku’s goals against Palace – his 110th and 111th – moved him into the Premier League’s top 20 scorers of all time.
