Romelu Lukaku: 5 reasons it's too early to write him off

#2 A stone faced Lukaku is good news for Manchester United

Lukaku decided not to celebrate his goal for the second game in a row

Contrary to the arguments offered on air about the absolute lack of celebration after opening the scoring against West Bromwich Albion, it is perhaps the guilt that leaves Lukaku stone-faced.

After assisting 2 of Manchester City's goals in the derby and lending a hand in mounting evidence against himself in the context of "bigger games", it is understandable that Lukaku's head is no place for peace and quiet.

Just like he did after scoring against Bournemouth, Lukaku stayed where was, stared at the crowd and nodded away in silence. Regardless of whether or not it's dejection showing after having been handed a basinful of ridicule or the nonchalance of unsatiated hunger, this is more or less what United will want to see from Lukaku.

His workrate has been on the up and it seems to be exponentially rising with the amount of criticism he has to shoulder. True, he needs to stay away from the United box when they are defending set-pieces but otherwise, Lukaku has got his heart in the right place and looks eager to prove himself beyond all reasonable doubt.
