Man Utd news: Sky Sports pundit reveals niggling Romelu Lukaku doubt
RAY PARLOUR has revealed he still has niggling doubts over Manchester United star Romelu Lukaku.
Romelu Lukaku has returned to goalscoring ways recently
After a quiet start to 2018, Lukaku has rediscovered his goalscoring form at Manchester United and netted three times in his past four Premier League outings.
The Belgian is expected to lead the line tomorrow (12.30pm) when Liverpool visit Old Trafford.
He has been routinely criticised this term over his touch and not doing enough to stretch defences.
Parlour thinks Lukaku has made a decent impression since joining United from Everton last summer.
“Well when you go from Everton to Man Utd, you’re going up the ladder,” Parlour told Sky Sports’ The Debate.
I’m a little 50/50 with him. There’s better strikers in the Premier League
“The pressure and the expectation build on you.
“He’s only 24 and he’s still learning how to play as a centre forward.
“A lot has happened to him in a short space of time.
“At times people argue about his first touches aren’t good enough and hold the ball well as he can do for a big guy and bring midfield in.

“His goal scoring record has been decent.”
However, Parlour still has a question mark over Lukaku, adding: “I’m a little 50/50 with him.
“There’s better strikers in the Premier League, but I see the potential for him to be top class.
“It’s a case of whether he can get to that level which United fans will be hoping.”
