Manchester United midfielder, Paul Pogba, has named his team-mate Romelu Lukaku, as the “best striker in the Premier League”. Lukaku ended his goal drought which lasted seven club games last weekend, as United beat Newcastle 4-1 at Old Trafford.

We know his quality. We know everything. We don’t worry about him. And at the end, we see the result.”

Manchester United midfielder Juan Mata has embraced the thought of a strike partnership between Romelu Lukaku and Zlatan Ibrahimovic and said that the duo would provide "guaranteed goals". Ibrahimovic returned to action against Newcastle United on Saturday following knee ligament damage that kept him out since April, while Romelu Lukaku scored his first Premier League goal since the end of September.

"There would be guaranteed goals for United in attack. I think other teams will be worried. Having Ibra back is a very big moment. "If he comes back with his usual style then United have a sensational reinforcement for the second half of the season. ...
