Berbatov defends Manchester United striker Romelu Lukaku

Dimitar Berbatov has defended Romelu Lukaku, insisting that the Manchester Unitedstriker is worth more than goals to Jose Mourinho. "Why do people concentrate on this [goalscoring drought]?" Berbatov said in an interview with Sky Sports. "Strikers are more than just goals now. How is that going to help Lukaku when there are constantly people saying how long he didn't score a goal for. "It is important and I am sure he had that relief 'it is finally over'. People always talking about him not scoring is just spreading negativity." The Belgium international has scored a total of 33 goals for United in 71 games. Berbatov, by comparison, scored 56 goals across 149 games, and also won two Premier League titles.
