Manchester United should drop Romelu Lukaku vs Watford despite him escaping ban

Romelu Lukaku

Romelu Lukaku may have escaped a ban for kicking out at an opponent over the weekend, but he still shouldn’t play against Watford this week. 

The Belgian striker appeared to let his frustration get to him on Saturday when he kicked Brighton’s Gaetan Bong twice. 

Such an incident should perhaps have come as little surprise – his lack of goals has to be playing on his mind.

Having started his Manchester United career on fire, he’s scored just once in his last 11 appearances for Manchester United. Coupled with the return of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, the pressure is mounting on the shoulders of the 24-year-old.

Jose Mourinho forced Mark Clattenburg into retiring Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho forced Mark Clattenburg into quitting his role as a referee after criticising him in the Red Devils’ 1-1 draw with Stoke last season. Clattenburg stunned football last season when he quit being a referee in order to work in Saudi Arabia. The 42-year-old has recently opened up about his decision, and also dropped major bombshells about Chelsea and Tottenham. And now, Clattenburg has revealed he made the call to quit refereeing because of Mourinho, who blasted him after Manchester United’s 1-1 draw with Stoke last term. Wayne Rooney scored a thunderbolt free-kick to secure a point for the Red Devils but Mourinho was livid at  Manchester United ’s failure to be given a penalty. And Clattenburg says it was the straw that broke the camel’s back. "I was refereeing the game when Wayne Rooney broke Bobby Charlton's record and Mourinho came into my dressing room and he was

 Romelu Lukaku rises to head Manchester United’s opening goal at West Bromwich Albion T he chase feels forlorn, and it must be even more dispiriting for  Manchester United  when they play the day after their neighbors have turned in yet another stirring performance, but José Mourinho and his players can at least take some satisfaction from the fact they managed to trim the deficit at the top back to 11 points. Romelu Lukaku , taking his Premier League tally for the season into double figures, and Jesse Lingard got the goals on an afternoon that ended up being nothing like as comfortable as it should have been for United. Mourinho’s side were 2-0 up and strolling to victory when Albion punished their complacency by snatching a late goal through Gareth Barry that set up a tense finale. United survived the late Albion blitz and held on for a third successive Premier League away win, lifting them three points above Chelsea. The bad news for United is that they may have to co

Pep Guardiola says the chance to make history is not playing on his mind  Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola says the chance to make history is not playing on his mind as he prepares for Sunday's derby with rivals Manchester United. If City win the game it will be their 14th league victory in a row - a record in a single Premier League season. However, Guardiola says his focus is only on developing a strategy to beat Jose Mourinho's side. "The record will be broken, my concern is how we win the game," he said. "If you play one game thinking about records you forget what you have to do." This is the first derby since April 2013 where the two clubs occupy the top two positions in the table. If City win at Old Trafford they will move 11 points clear while United would close the gap to five with victory. Guardiola believes it is far too early to suggest the match could be a title decider. "Winning, drawing or losing on Sunday, we
