Romelu Lukaku says he has predatory instincts like a big cat when he gets close in to goal. He described his ability to pounce on scoring abilities as being on par with one of nature’s finest predators. Lukaku bagged a brace in Belgium’s 3-3 draw with Mexico last night; moving him into a tie atop the Belgian all-time scoring chart.
It was definitely a relief for him he’s still enduring a dry spell in club play, failing to score a goal in his last six games for Manchester United.

“Yes, it’s a relief but I knew it would come,” he said in an interview with Sky Sports News.
“I feel great to be honest. I was born to score. I don’t think many strikers of my generation have as many goals as me. I am like a leopard in the box.”
The Belgian’s drought has Red Devils supporters irked and incensed; so much so that it inspired manager Jose Mourinho to publicly defend Lukaku against the fans, and thus create somewhat of a row between Mourinho and the fan base.
The United manager is not concerned about the performance of Lukaku however, and neither is his former manager at Everton, and current boss with the Belgium national team Roberto Martinez.
Over this international break Lukaku has showed us exactly why these two men believe in his football knowledge, skills and abilities. On Saturday when Newcastle United come to Old Trafford, he can break out of his slump and remind Red Devils supporters of everything that he can do.
