Lukaku is seeking trophies
Date published: 25 July 2017
ROMELU Lukaku is determined to make history with Manchester United and help Jose Mourinho "rebuild the club".
Most onlookers expected the 24-year-old to be donning blue right now, with it appearing for much of the summer a case of when rather than if he rejoined Chelsea from Everton.
But Mourinho, who was in charge at Stamford Bridge when Lukaku was given the green light to leave three years ago, swept in earlier this month to lure the Belgium striker to Old Trafford for a fee starting at £75m.
And the United boss believes the front man can play a big part in taking the club back to the top of the English game - a challenge Lukaku is relishing.
"For me, it's all about winning," the player said in Washington. "I want to win and now I'm at a club where winning is the most important thing.
"It's something inside of me. It's always been like that. I've been a guy who is working to be a pro since I was 11 years old, so I just have a goal to win as many trophies as I can.
"At the end of the day, to play for a club like Manchester United is something that I've always wanted. It's an opportunity I have now and I want to grab this opportunity."
Meanwhile, United defender Eric Bailly has received a three-match European ban after he was sent off in May's Europa League semi-final against Celta Vigo.
