<\/p>\nUnited manager, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, speaking after the Belgian left for Inter Milan, said: \u201che\u2019s one of the top number nines when you want to play with that kind of striker, he\u2019s that target man\u201d.<\/p>\n
Solskjaer wants to have a more mobile and fluid attack, but Lukaku feels he is just as capable of playing that way.<\/p>\n
Speaking on the Lightharted Podcast, he said: \u201cA lot of people try to make me the player that I\u2019m not. Because of my size, they think that I\u2019m like the traditional big guy, who posts up all the defenders, holds the ball and then plays it and brings in other players. Well, I\u2019m not that type of dude.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m a scorer, 100%. I need to face the goal, that\u2019s when I\u2019m dangerous. That\u2019s why, when I play for Belgium, I\u2019m so much more dangerous because I\u2019m in a situation where I face the goal at all times. At all times.<\/p>\n
\u201cI never have my back to the goal, I face the goal at all times. So that\u2019s when I\u2019m really dangerous and that\u2019s why I\u2019m really successful for my country.\u201d<\/p>\n
Asked about Solskjaer\u2019s style compared to predecessor Jose Mourinho, he continued: \u201cThe playing style of Ole, obviously wants to play offensive, high pace, high tempo. Jose is more organised and then try to exploit one or two mistakes of the other team.<\/p>\n
\u201cI can play both to be honest. Some people don\u2019t think I can play both, because of my posture. They think Rom is a big man, they think I\u2019m a dude who plays like a pivot, holds the ball, gets others into play, but it\u2019s not like that.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s why, when people see me play for Belgium, they see a totally different man. Because with Belgium we play high pace, we play on the break, we play fast and forward.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe playing style I play with my national team is the style we want to play at Man United. So is it me, or do we need to have a conversation man to man?\u201d<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Romelu Lukaku has criticised the way he was used at Manchester United and insists he is not just a target man.
