Roberto Martinez is not in any way bothered about Manchester United striker Romelu Lukaku’s recent goal drought and is tipping the 24-year-old to overcome his terrible spell.
“I think Romelu is an out-and-out goal-scorer and his numbers reflect that,” said Martinez in an interview.
“Only elite footballers get anywhere near his return in terms of goals so far in the Premier League. He’ll tell you he’s obsessed with the game, he wants to become better and work hard to fulfill the enormous potential that he has.”
“He needs to be given a path and I think that path now is the move he had from Chelsea to West Brom, from West Brom to Everton and then after playing in Europe for Everton in an important role, going into Manchester United in a team that you’re always expected to win; I think it’s been a really interesting stage or path for Romelu,”
Martinez said. “Through that path you’re going to have good moments, bad moments, but I think we’re all aware that the enormous talent that he has in front of goal will allow him to go through any bad spell.”
Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has urged fans to back Lukaku and stressed that he should be judged on more than goals.
