Rio Ferdinand spoke exclusively to talkSPORT earlier this week

And Old Trafford icon Ferdinand, who won six Premier League titles, the Champions League and two League Cups at United, has been encouraged by Lukaku’s recent performances.The BT Sport pundit told talkSPORT: “He’s been very one dimensional at times this season, and over the years at Manchester United you’ve rarely seen that type of striker be a success.“With that said he’s certainly shown signs of improvements in recent weeks.“I watched him against Arsenal at the Emirates and he was very good. He played the role he was given brilliantly.“The attributes Lukaku has to his game means he should be unplayable. He’s strong, he’s quick, but he needs to be more aggressive.”3

He continued: “It’s down to him if he can bring all of his attributes together. He can be anything he wants to be.“For me he’s probably the most natural finisher at the football club, the best finisher in all honesty.“But Manchester United football club demand more than someone who is a just a great finisher.“It’s also down to Ole [Gunnar Solskjaer]. Does he fancy him as a player and is he prepared to spend the time and effort into helping him become a Manchester United legend?“They are the questions that need to be answered and they will be in time.” The former England defender says it is Lukaku’s link-up play that has really caught his attention of late.“One thing that has come into his game that I hadn’t seen much of before is the fact he’s playing these cute little passes,”he explained.“He set up one for [Jesse] Lingard against Liverpool and did it on two occasions against Arsenal.“It’s a part of his game that he was really lacking in before, so it’s been encouraging to see him implement that link-up play when it matters most – on the biggest stage of them all.”BT Sport brings you the moments that matter this season, with exclusively live coverage of the UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League.
