Lukaku has gone eight games without scoring and has only managed four goals in 13 short time (under a new manager) are showing what they are made of.
“Why, after three years, are United still trying to find a winning formula under Mourinho?
“I’m not disputing they have some incredible talent, but from what I’m seeing they don’t know how to play together. When you watch United, they are like deer in headlights.”
