​Manchester United striker Romelu Lukaku has struggled for goals off late and drew another blank during the Red Devils 4-2 win over Watford last night. The Belgian has netted only one goal in his last 11 appearances with many now calling for him to be dropped to the bench.





United legend Rio Ferdinand believes he knows the real reason for Lukaku's loss of form and that is due to the presence of fellow striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic. The former defender believes that it is just a matter of time before the Belgian starts banging in the goals, but the presence of the Swede does make matters worse.

"He'll come out of this. I think that maybe the bigger problem for him is Zlatan Ibrahimovic being there. Mentally, having a big striker behind you who wants to play, that's a pressure (coming) from within, and sometimes people find that hard to deal with", Ferdinand said to BT Sport as quoted by Express.

The Red Devils have not been affected by Lukaku's goal drought but will need him firing on all cylinders when they travel to the Emirates to face Arsenal in the Premier League on Saturday.
