Lukaku is absolutely a United player. Perfect for Mourinho’s team in the same way that Drogba was.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?

By the looks of it he is going to Inter. Unless they decide to sell him to Arsenal.
Ah well, your prediction streak had to end sometime.
He hasn't got the hold up play, the touch, surprisingly the strength or the finishing to be Jose's Drogba.
Feck these guys. I can't believe we are that desperate to deal with them after the summer shenanigans. They better give us a free run at Perisic as a good return gesture.
In what way could he have been Jose’s Drogba? They are nothing alike?
Its not about being desperate. Jose said if the player is not happy and brings in a good deal, we are not going to stop him. Inter can afford Mkhis salary as well as pay for the transfer. Mkhi is definitely not happy in the club. Could be the manager, could be his girlfried/boyfriend. I dont care. The fact is that he is not giving his 100% to the club, means he is not happy. Whats the point of keeping him.
Well everbody knows there can never be a United way without the United mentality players. Gosh, darn, golly gee. It is known.
I'm with Mkhi on this. I'd move on from a coach who idolizes playing like West Brom. We'll sell him and he'll go on to shine somewhere else. Just add him to the list of Mourinho's casualties with KDB, Salah, Mata, Robben. Can't imagine HOW so many attacking players manage to become world class without matching Lingard's defensive energy.
So Mkhi had a dip in form with Pogba out, sit him out a few games, but really when you think Jesse Lingard is better than Mkhi, you deserve the crap performances you see on the pitch. Still our leader in chances created, but for some reason we don't need him. Let's try and play more like West Brom hoof long balls and defend... I'm bored, next manager pls.

Bla bla bla.. Mkhi has been shit before dropped out of the team. He couldnt hold & protect the ball, made many mistakes with his pass, ruined many our counter attack chances whenever he got the ball.
I will be happy to see him out of the club soon. Such disappointment...
Be careful with words here my friend. The flock is gonna rip you apart.lol.
The truth is that Jose style used to work perfectly. Its quite outdated. No one does that anymore. Look at Klopp, Pochettino, Guardiola. They all promote attacking style. All Jose does in big games is put a lot of accent on defense and hope for his ultra class players to come up with something. When they stop listening or dont defend properly, they are out. That shit game aint gonna win titles anymore. Forget about CL or Premier League. Some League cup may be. By playing long balls you starve the middle and make the midfielders look like ghosts in a game. When he loses, the first thing he does is to blame the midfield for bot shining.
He said lately that Mkhi doesnt deserve to be ahead of youngsters. That says a lot about the current situation.
You don't see the whole picture, is not only about skills is about personality. José likes fighters and you cannot see that with Micky. If he doesn't want to fight for the place, bon voyage. We don't need that vibe here.

Yeah somehow i'll manage to sleep at night. Excellent post though, i agree completely. Without a good system, i don't think we'll have the consistency we need to win. Can't always rely on individual performances. You'll have dips in form & lack of availability to navigate.
Jesus. We're second in the league behind the best city team I've ever seen.
And the flock lol.
It's not the sheep that rip you apart. It's the wolves.

It's like some of you started watching football this year.
The last player to move directly between the two clubs did so in the 60s. There's a reason for that.
Miki also sucked in his last year under Klopp too.
Do you bother to watch his teams play at all?
Many german football fans here told us about him. Nothing really new about his mentality.
I am a bit surprised our or jose's scout team took a risk with him as I would think they would hear about it a bit at least.
But, speaking all of it, the story could be shit and he could still become a very good player for us.

Sleep well. Your post sucks. Bitching about second in the league
Why should anyone look at them? They won a crap load of nothing in England. Manager of the month doesn't count.
Yes, Pep is probably going to win the PL this season, but it is laughable to call Mourinho outdated while bringing Klopp and Pochettino (who sit below us at the table and who've won feck all) into that discussion.
That says a lot about Mkhi because it's absolutely spot on.
The weather in Manchester or the grass at OT are going to be next in line to explain how it's not Mkhi's fault that he's been shit before getting dropped.
Lukaku is not worthy to tie Drogba's shoelaces.
If we'd had prime Drogba in out team today we'd walk the league.
Yep. Anyone could see that he was absolute dogshit after the first five games or so and everyone was calling for him to be dropped. He is talented, no doubt about that, but he really needs to get his head straight because he got a lot to prove if he wants to be back on the pitch one day.
Wanted an improvement over him for a long time, i love it that jose sees the same. Selling mkhi and buying a better number 10 will give us a better chance of cementing 2nd place and also going further in the champions league. 30 million has been leaked to the press but i think we will take about 20 million for him and given the 90 million euros budget, we ll have about Griezmann's clause worth of money and given simeone's comments we might get him. I d be happy even with ozil over Mkhi or even getting Milinkovic savic and playing him with matic and pushing Pogba further ahead. I hope he goes away soon and we can buy a player we want even for a bit of premium.
I think this is likely to be partly manufactured by Mourinho.
I think he’s got his eye on Ozil or Griezmann and he needs both the squad space and to justify the purchase to the board. Mkhi is a Mourinho signing so I don’t think the board would be quite as satisfied with an answer of “That’s a weakness in the squad I inherited” for this one.
If he can get him to move though then he might be able to justify it.

Think you’re on to something here.
It is possible but he can just play him on the right side and see how he does it. After all, didn't he play in that position in Germany and become to have a good reputation? And, it is not like we have anyone who is playing excellent on the right for the whole season as well.
How much might we get for Mkhi at this point? 20m? More?
Oh dear.
Show the quote of Jose mentioning Mkhitaryan.
Oh wait. There isn't one.
Oh wait. There isn't one.
It is said to be around 30-35m pound and 200k per week. I think it is a huge wage. No wonder we have the highest wage in EPL or thereabout.
Is it Mourinho's fault that Mkhitaryan couldn't string two passes together? I personally was much more patient then most on here at the beginning of the season even though I didn't rate him much, but he was appalling. He has only himself to blame. And for the record he isn't worthy to lace KDB's or Robben's shoes.
Yeah right we will walk the league because Lukaku is the difference between us 11 points ahead of us City's team. Drogba was a better player than Lukaku no doubt, but that claim is silly.
He scored lots of important goals for us in Europa League so I'll always remember his contribution for that but his performances in League over the course of 2 season leave so much to be desired. I think writing was on the wall when he was hooked at HT vs City last year and had a breakdown, never a good sign.
Ozil would improve us no doubt but he's same age as Mkhi, in few years time we'd be looking for a replacement for Matic and him if we do sign him.

People look at the numbers he put up in his last season at Dortmund and get carried away, it's the same with Mata. He scored and assisted like 50+ goals under Benitez but hasn't replicated that form here under any of the 3 managers. Mkhitaryan is similar, people expected him to be a devastating #10 who'd score or make goals in bucket but he has shirked every time he's been the focal point. He's just not suited to the physicality of the league.

Drogba first went to Chelsea was much worse than Lukaku.In what way could he have been Jose’s Drogba? They are nothing alike?
Don't compare finished product Drogba to first United season Lukaku.
Man, open your eyes. Miki was absolutely shite before being dropped. There were moments in which he lost the ball in 1 second after receiving it.
And, if you look closer, there were 2-3 games where he didn't run when losing the ball, he didn't run at all and that was a bit obvious.
If Martial can run back a bit, Miki can as well. And he should run back. Playing the 10 Role involves a bit of defending, it's not like you're playing against the opposition's 6 or 8. Imagine us playing vs a team with a number 10 that doesn't press Matic at all when losing the ball, seems a bit stupid, doesn't it?
You can't walk around the pitch and start every game, especially when you;re not creating anything.
If Miki would've been crazy good going forward and he would've been benched because he doesn't track back, I would have agreed with your statement. But, considering the facts, you're talking pure nonesense.
Just remember, an attacking player that, on top of not creating and scoring, doesn't track back, is simply a lamp post.
Great news.
Probably worse than Kagawa.
The moral of the story is... stop signing Dortmund players.
Delighted we're getting rid of him. He's a really bad fit for us and the league. Right up there with Falcao and Di Maria as far as United flops go.
