The Chilean's goal was the catalyst for Manchester United's win in the FA Cup, with the Belgian revealing he talked about setting him up in training
Romelu Lukaku showed his psychic abilities by predicting that
Manchester United team-mate Alexis Sanchez would score against
Arsenal in Friday's
FA Cup showdown.
Sanchez broke the deadlock in a 3-1 win over his former club, with Lukaku having played a key role in the Chilean's goal.
And the
Belgium international insisted he saw it coming, revealing that he told Alexis to make the run that led to his opener when the pair were talking in training.
"I told him in training, 'Listen, you're going to score'," the former
Chelseastriker told
MUTV.
"I said to him I'd give him the ball as long as he ran inside if I couldn't shoot. I said to him, 'Just run in and I'll find you'.
"I think you could see when I got the ball I was looking for him and he made the right run and the finish for him was incredible.
"We knew they would leave space for me and Alexis with the full-backs pushing on, so it would end up being three v three or three v two and we had a lot of moments when we could have countered better, especially in the second half.
"I think we could have scored two or three more goals to be honest, but 3-1 at Arsenal is very good."
The result saw Ole Gunnar Solskjaer extend his remarkable run at the helm to eight consecutive victories and Lukaku urged his team-mates to maintain those high standards.
"We feel great but it's the same in training," he said.
