EPL: Why Manchester United won’t win Premier League title with Lukaku – Scholes

Former Manchester United legend, Paul Scholes has said that his former team cannot win the Premiere League title with Romelu Lukaku leading the attack.
Scholes believes that the Belgium international lacks the capacity to thrive at Old Trafford and questioned his work rate.
Lukaku has scored a total of 20 Premier League goals in 40 starts since his arrival at the club, including the four goals he scored this season, but Scholes is not convinced that he is good enough at the moment to lead the United attack single-handedly.
“I’m just not sure you are ever going to win the league with a goal scorer like him,” he told ESPN.
“I don’t think his play outside of the box is good enough. I’m not sure if he works hard enough but he’s still a young man who has done well and scored a lot of goals.
“He’s quick and strong, but Lukaku is one of many United players who look like they’re short of confidence.
“I don’t think he realises how good he can be, but he needs help because who else can play centre-forward at United now?”
When asked if Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford could play as strikers, he added, “Maybe, but they look like wingers.
“And they’re getting slagged off by the manager. We had four centre-forwards, [Andy] Cole, Teddy [Sheringham], Ole [Gunnar Solskjaer] and [Dwight] Yorke and when they went through bad spells, which every footballer does, someone else was waiting to come in.
“That helped their performances because they knew that if they didn’t perform then they would be taken off. Maybe Lukaku needs that, too.”

Jurgen Klopp storms onto pitch and rages at Liverpool star after Chelsea lows

Jurgen Klopp  made a beeline for summer signing Xherdan Shaqiri and gave him some animated feedback on his performance in Liverpool’s defeat to Chelsea on Wednesday evening. The Reds took a second-half lead at Anfield in the Carabao Cup through Daniel Sturridge, but were stung late on by a tap-in from full-back Emerson before  Eden Hazard scored an incredible solo goal to put the visitors into the next round. At full-time, Klopp exchanged pleasantries with Maurizio Sarri and the Chelsea bench, but then walked onto the pitch to seek out Shaqiri. The Swiss star had a rather frustrating evening, wasting a number of chances on the break as Chelsea pushed for an equaliser, and Klopp seemed furious with his winger. He stormed past other Liverpool players and shouted at Shaqiri, appearing to admonishing him for some mistakes he made during the match. Klopp gesticulated and pointed wildly, though did shake hands with Shaqiri – who was listening to his manager intently – to
