3 important issues Jose Mourinho needs to address immediately at Manchester United

#2 An alternative to Lukaku

The Belgium international has been a prolific striker in the Premier League. Before coming to Manchester United last season, his stats for Everton were phenomenal.

However, Manchester United is a different proposition, and it brings with it an enormous amount of pressure. Though Lukaku did reasonably well in his debut campaign for Manchester United, this season he has been mediocre.

The lack of goals seems to have shattered his confidence, and with media pressure all around, the Belgian is struggling to get his form back.

Manchester United also lacks a quality center forward who could give Romelu a run for his money. Lukaku hasn't got enough rest until recently when he got dropped due to injury and lack of goals.

It should be enough reason for Jose Mourinho to go for a striker in January who could push Lukaku, and also allow him get his form back, which would ultimately benefit Manchester United in the long run.

About the author

A sports enthusiast and an avid follower of football.

Since childhood I was encouraged to play cricket and in no time it became a hobby. Gradually I found interest in other sports also.

Football is in my blood and I love the electrifying ambiance that surrounds it. I often watch the pre and post match analysis of a match and try to learn how to analyze a football game.

The thing that intrigues me the most is that there are so many things happening behind the scenes that are oblivious to our naked eyes. The technological advancements that has been made are phenomenal.

I like analyzing a game from a statistical point of view. Being a data guy myself , I am firm believer of providing insights through facts and data. Though a game is always unpredictable , analyzing it from different dimensions can provide some very interesting conclusions.
