Gary Neville has said Zlatan Ibrahimovic is in no way a threat to Romelu Lukaku as the Manchester United striker continues to struggle for goals.
“Zlatan is confident but Lukaku is number one, the fans and the manager believe in him and if he does have any demons then he needs to clear them from his mind.”
“I don’t think Jose Mourinho will be worried about Romelu Lukaku’s lack of goals, but I think ultimately he’s got two big games coming up,” Neville said.
“He was brought in to score goals in the games which United were drawing last season. However, it is in the big matches where they now need him most. If there is a way to get at Arsenal and Manchester City then it is by really going at their defences.
“For a striker, it is all about your goals and unfortunately, people will always measure him by that. But away from the goals his contribution has to be big, to mess their centre-halves about.
“He’s had his struggles but ultimately that was always going to happen at some point after his blistering start, but this is a critical stage of the season where he has to deliver.”
