LONDON (Reuters) - - Real Madrid's Alvaro Morata had long seemed the man entrusted to replace the outgoing Zlatan Ibrahimovic, but it now appears that Everton's Premier League-proven Romelu Lukaku will spearhead Manchester United's attack for the upcoming season. Last season Lukaku became only the fourth player to score 80 or more Premier League goals before the age of 24, all for West Bromwich Albion and Everton, neither of whom have possessed the creative resources of the league's bigger teams. United, in recent years, have also struggled in that regard, and their midfielder providers -- Juan Mata, Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Jesse Lingard and Paul Pogba -- mustered just 10 assists between them in the Premier League last season. The Swede did not possess the legs to make runs down the channels or leave his man for dead -- movement that creative midfielders thrive upon. To really become a success at United, though, a player needs a winning mentality, a desire to be very best -- an attitude Lukaku seems to have.
