Man Utd boss Mourinho: I don't want to compare Lukaku with Drogba

Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho is reluctant to compare Romelu Lukaku with his former Chelsea striker Didier Drogba.

Lukaku was again outstanding in today's victory at Swansea City.

"I don't like to compare. I think Drogba had a phenomenal career in the Premier League," Mourinho said.

“Romelu is having that but he didn't play yet to win trophies. I don't think he's won any trophies in England. I think now he plays regularly in one of the clubs that is going to try to win trophies.

“That little question mark about 'can he cope?' He can cope with clearly.

“So let's see if this season is a great season for him and it's also a World Cup season. Roberto Martinez (Belgian boss) lives here, and if he doesn't he's still very much connected with English football. Thierry (Henry) is his assistant and also lives here so I think he is in a situation where he can have a very good season with us and at the World Cup."
