Manchester United Striker, Romelu Lukaku, believes the Red Devils could be capable of big things in 2017-18 after a big win in the opening league game of the season.
Lukaku claims that Man Utd’s impressive 4-0 victory over West Ham is “just the start” after United made a statement of intent in their opening match of the Premier League season.
The Belgium International signed from Everton for an initial fee of £75 million in July, promptly began to repay that sizeable investment with two goals on his competitive Old Trafford debut.
Substitute, Anthony Martial and Paul Pogba struck late on to send United to the top of the table at the end of the opening weekend.
The 24-year-old is full of confidence in the potential of both the Portuguese boss and his new team-mates.
He told Sky Sports: “It’s just the start. The manager has a plan, we will try to follow it and hopefully it will take us somewhere.”
He continued, “To play well in front of such a crowd [is pleasing]. The most important thing was the win. We started well and have to keep working hard
“[I am] just [happy] for the team, when you play for Manchester United the job is to score goals. Everyone created a lot of chances and we scored a lot of goals.
“He [Mourinho] wants me to be a leader for team, in training we work really hard, [and] the hard work will pay off.
“The fans want to see attractive football, that’s what we did, the crowd was very pleased,” he concluded.
