Everton striker Romelu Lukaku is happy playing for Belgium coach Roberto Martinez.

Martinez was sacked as Blues boss in May but made a swift return to management when he landed the Belgian national team job in August.

"Since he came I've only played good matches," Lukaku told Sport/Voetbalmagazine.

“He has, so to speak, freed me from prison.

“I know what he expects of me, where and how to go. Today everyone knows his role with the Red Devils. A player on the ball has five, six options, especially in this 3-4-3.

"At Anderlecht we played like this at youth level. Sometimes it feels like I'm back playing as a kid, with all these options."
