77Romelu LukakuManchester United striker Romelu Lukaku believes he has nothing to prove to his critics and deserves more respect for his goalscoring record. Lukaku cancelled out Willian’s opener and set up midfielder Jesse Lingard to score the winner in Sunday’s 2-1 Premier League victory over champions Chelsea at Old Trafford. The Belgian international has scored 13 league goals this season, four in the Champions League and four in the FA Cup, but has been criticised for not being effective against the bigger teams in England. “You expect a bit more respect but it’s the situation we’re in,” Lukaku told the club’s website (www.manutd.com) after his first goal against a top-six side in seven games this season. “I‘m 24 and I have a lot of years ahead of me to improve before my prime so I‘m never satisfied,” Lukaku said.
