Bad patch

Lukaku has now gone six games without a goal, last scoring against Crystal Palace at the end of September.
The Belgian had netted 11 goals in his first ten appearances for the club, having joined from Everton over the summer for a staggering £75m.
The 24-year-old has seen a number of chances fall his way, however, he has failed to find the clinical form he enjoyed during his opening few games for the club.
Such form has even lead to manager Jose Mourinho having to jump to defence following criticism for the Old Trafford faithful.

I could not say no

For many years, Lukaku has been following the career of manager Jose Mourinho.
His belief was that one day, he would work under the Portuguese coach.
Lukaku told Sky Sports:

“I made a decision in the summer that I felt Old Trafford was the stage for me.
Playing under Jose Mourinho was my destiny.
Since I was 11, I knew when he was the manager at Porto, I knew this guy had something.
I followed his career, the way his teams played, and as a young kid I was already being busy with tactics.
I was like this is the guy that might give me something. So it was Manchester United, it was Jose Mourinho. I could not say no.
I felt it was the best opportunity for me.
For us, as a team, it will be an important game because we want to keep going, to keep winning, to play without fear, to go forward and score goals.”
