范尼：盧卡庫和我很像，也是純粹的9號位球員

7500萬鎊轉會加盟曼聯以來，盧卡庫在曼聯取得了不錯的紅魔開局，曼聯傳奇球星范尼在談到盧卡庫時也表示比利時魔獸是一名純粹的9號位球星。

范尼說：「作為曼聯的前鋒，盧卡庫在處理壓力方面取得了一個不錯的開始。每個人的身上都會掛著一張價碼牌，尤其是在早期的比賽里，如果你進不了球，人們就會說：嘿，他進不了球。但盧卡庫一直在進球，我相信這樣的勢頭可以繼續保持下去。

「和我很像，我覺得盧卡庫也是一名純粹的9號位球員，他在中路發揮自己的本事。就像你不會把我放到邊路一樣，盧卡庫也是如此。他和我是同一類型的球員，在防線身後跑位，在禁區內充滿威脅，並且能夠拿住球。

「他給曼聯帶來了很大的變化。他在比賽中取得了進球，同時也遇到了正確的領路人，穆里尼奧，葡萄牙教頭正在指導著他。我覺得盧卡庫也會遭遇困難的時期，但只要穆里尼奧在那，他就可以帶領盧卡庫度過困難的時間點。」

LUKAKU BRANDED A 'PURE NO.9' AS MAN UTD LEGEND VAN NISTELROOY SEES SIMILARITIES WITH HIMSELF

The Belgian striker has made a bright start to life at Old Trafford following a £75m move and a former fan favourite expects him to keep on delivering

Romelu Lukaku has been billed as a 「pure No.9」 by a man who knows a thing or two about filling that role at Manchester United, Ruud van Nistelrooy.

The Red Devils spent big over the summer in pursuit of a proven goal-getter, with £75 million paid to Premier League rivals Everton for a man considered to be one of the best in the business.

At 24 years of age, Lukaku has already achieved plenty and is yet to reach his prime.

He is a player that excites United legend Van Nistelrooy – a man who netted 150 times for the club in his heyday – with the iconic Dutchman seeing similarities between Lukaku’s game and his own.

「Lukaku has made a good start at dealing with the pressure as a striker at United,」 said Van Nistelrooy.

「There is always a price ticket around your neck, especially in the early matches. If you don』t score, people say, 『Hey, he’s not scoring』. But Romelu is scoring goals and I』m certain that will continue

「Like me, I think he is a pure No.9, playing through the middle. You wouldn』t put me on the wing. The same with him. I was the same type of player, making runs behind, dangerous in the box and holding the ball up.

「He has made a real difference to United. He has scored goals from the off and has the right boss, in Jose Mourinho, to guide him.

「There will be difficult phases to come. But Mourinho has been there and done it and will know how to guide him through any rough patches.」

If Lukaku continues to deliver for United, having netted six times in as many games so far, then Jose Mourinho’s side should be there or thereabouts when the biggest prizes are handed out.

Van Nistelrooy sees them contending for top honours, with solid foundations having been laid last season as the Red Devils secured Community Shield, EFL Cup and Europa League triumphs.

He added: 「It was great to see United win trophies last season.

「This time around, with the squad they have, I think they are capable of competing in both the Premier League and the Champions League.

「They definitely have the squad. It’s also important that they have width and quality in the side.

「They look rock-solid, have creativity and goals up front. And soon they will also have Zlatan Ibrahimovic back. It will be great to have his quality and experience.」

United and Lukaku will be back in action on Sunday when they are reunited with the club’s all-time leading goalscorer, Wayne Rooney, and his current employers at Everton.
