ROMELU LUKAKU claims “it has been decided” that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will get the Manchester United job this summer.
The Norwegian masterminded an incredible Champions League comeback win over Paris Saint-Germain in the French capital last night.
And Lukaku reckons there’s “no doubt” Solskjaer will be picked ahead of Tottenham’s Mauricio Pochettino to lead a rebuild for next season.
The Belgian striker scored twice at the Parc des Princes, with his second-minute strike giving United the belief needed to bounce back from their 2-0 defeat in the first leg of the last-16 clash at Old Trafford a fortnight ago to win 3-1 and go through on away goals.
The Red Devils lined up without ten regular first-teamers, forcing Solskjaer to field a makeshift midfield including Fred, Andreas Pereira and Scott McTominay.
While there were no less than FOUR kids on the bench, including Tahith Chong who was called into action late on.

United eventually won the match with a penalty from Marcus Rashford in added time.
And Lukaku is confident interim boss Solskjaer will now be handed a long-term contract after rescuing United’s season.
Lukaku told beIN Sports: “I think it has been decided. I think he is going to get it, he should get it.
“If you look at the games we played, everybody was talking after the first four games because we played against less opposition.
“But then we won at Spurs away, Chelsea away, Arsenal in the FA Cup, now this game today. What else does he have to do?”
Lukaku also said to Viasport: “I know he’s going to stay, there’s no doubt about that.
“He wants to stay, the players want him to stay. We’re doing really well, we’re playing like Manchester United should play.
“He’s a young coach, he has young players as well so it’s the perfect environment to develop and hopefully win trophies in the future.”
Luke Shaw has also given his backing to Solskjaer, saying: “I don’t think I need to say much after all these results – it looks certain. We all love Ole and we love the job he’s done so far.
“We’re enjoying everything that’s going on at the moment and the results have shown that. We’ve had a couple of blips but that’s nine away matches now, and they’re not easy games.
“But it shows what sort of job Ole and his staff have done. Long may that continue.
“I believe in the team, even with the injuries we’ve had. I felt we were capable of pulling something off and even earlier today I said to Lee Grant that we were going to win, I could feel it.
“But that sums up what the mood is like in the camp now. It’s a big plus for the boss and what he’s done in this period of time and how much he’s changed things around. We’ve got so much more to look forward to.
“The win at Juve was very impressive but this tops that, not just the way we’ve done it but the injuries we’ve had and the people who have had to step in.
“The young boys who have been with us have been incredible for the last two or three days.
“I’m really pleased for the whole team, the staff and the manager for what we’ve achieved. Nobody had done it before but to do it in these circumstances and do it here is incredible.”
