Romelu Lukaku could miss Manchester United’s Premier League match with Crystal Palace after ‘picking up knock in training’
Jose Mourinho will have to re-shuffle his forward line if the Belgian is ruled out of encounter with bottom side
ROMELU LUKAKU is a doubt for Manchester United's clash with Crystal Palace.
The Belgian has enjoyed the most prolific start of any new Red Devils signing — and has been an ever-present so far in this campaign.
But Jose Mourinho could be forced overhauling his attack line.
ESPN reporter Rob Dawson reveals Lukaku is a doubt, but not definitely ruled out.
The former Everton striker, 24, has enjoyed a sensational start to life at Old Trafford.
He has netted six times in six Premier League games to top the scoring charts alongside Alvaro Morata and Sergio Aguero.
While he also has three in two Champions League encounters.
Should Lukaku miss this clash, Mourinho will be forced to deploy a different "No 9" for the first time this season.
