Jose Mourinho struggling to understand Romelu Lukaku’s loss of form for Manchester United
Jose Mourinho has revealed he travelled to Belgium last week to try and get to the bottom of Romelu Lukaku’s dramatic loss of form for Manchester United.
The United manager attended Belgium’s international victory over Iceland in Brussels even though neither of his players, Lukaku or Marouane Fellaini, were in action for Roberto Martinez’s side in the Nations League game.
But Mourinho has explained that his visit was for the express purpose of supporting Lukaku after the striker’s recent alarming dip in form for his club side.
„I went (to) fundamentally be with Lukaku, to see his situation and his injury,“ said Mourinho.
Lukaku, 25, has failed to score for United since September 15 – a run of 10 matches in all competitions – and lost his place in the starting line-up for United’s past four matches.
„Roberto invited me to meet him which I decided not to because I don’t like to disturb people before matches,“ added Mourinho.
„But I was with Roberto on the phone trying to understand the problem and evolution of the problem.“
Despite his troubles with United, Lukaku has maintained his form with Belgium, scoring twice in the win over Switzerland on October 12, his last goals in any form of football.
He has scored five goals in four appearances for his country this season in contrast to four goals in 15 outings for his club side.
Injury forced him out of Belgium’s latest internationals but it was only a minor hamstring problem and Lukaku is expected to return to the United squad for Saturday’s visit of Crystal Palace to Old Trafford.
