​Lukaku disputes Drogba comparison: I'm Man Utd, he's Chelsea

Manchester United striker Romelu Lukaku has dismissed the comparisons to Chelsea great Didier Drogba.

The Belgian striker points out that he is a very different striker than Drogba despite the physical similarities in both of them.

When asked whether he tries to emulate the Chelsea legend, Lukaku said: "Not really. I'm different.

"Drogba is more of a hold-up player, a target man. I prefer to have ball to feet and run in behind. We're totally different.

"We might have physical similarities but we're totally different players. I'm Romelu Lukaku, I want to create my own history. I'm at United, he was at Chelsea."
