Manchester: Manchester United’s Romelu Lukaku does not consider himself a complete striker but is optimistic of creating his “own history” at Old Trafford.
The Belgium international arrived at Old Trafford for a reported fee of 75m pounds ($97.74m) earlier this month after netting 25 league goals for Everton last season.
When asked if he was in the same bracket as some of Europe’s elite forwards, including Real Madrid’s Cristiano Ronaldo and Bayern Munich’s Robert Lewandowski, he replied: “No, no, no -- I’m far from that level.
“I’m 24 years of age. I can’t say I’m the complete package. I can’t say I’m in my prime.
“There is a lot of work to be done and I’m delighted that there is still work to be done. That means I can become even better than I am now.”
Lukaku said winning trophies was the most important thing for him and he joined United after hearing manager Jose Mourinho’s rebuilding plan. Lukaku is expected to make his league debut for United at Old Trafford against West Ham United on August 13.
