What Lukaku must live with as Manchester United striker – Ryan Giggs

Former Manchester United forward, Ryan Giggs has warned Romelu Lukaku that he will have to deal with a whole new level of scrutiny at the club.
The Lukaku joined Manchester United from Everton for £75 million last Monday on a five-year deal.

The Belgian has already come under criticism after failing to score in the 5-2 friendly win over the LA Galaxy on Saturday, being his debut.


Giggs told Press Association Sport, “He’s going to be scrutinised like he’s never been scrutinised before — but if he comes through that, I don’t see why he won’t score a lot of goals for United.

“But he has to handle the whole thing of being centre-forward at Manchester United, the one who makes the difference.

“We’ve seen over the years Ruud van Nistelrooy, Eric Cantona, Mark Hughes, Andy Cole, Dwight Yorke, Robin van Persie. They all handled it because they all had to, and the only way to do that is to score goals
