Man Utd news: Rio Ferdinand reveals major problem behind Romelu Lukaku struggles
Lukaku fired yet another blank last night at Vicarage Road as United ran out 4-2 winners away to Watford.
The Belgian missed a couple of presentable opportunities, and he has now netted just once in his past 11 outings for United. Ibrahimovic, meanwhile, came off the bench with two minutes to spare against Watford, replacing Jesse Lingard.
And Ferdinand thinks the towering Swede's presence has only served to worry Lukaku further. "Hell come out of this. I think that maybe the bigger problem for him is Zlatan Ibrahimovic being there," Ferdinand told BT Sport when asked about Lukaku's struggles.
I think that maybe the bigger problem for him is Zlatan Ibrahimovic being there Rio Ferdinand "Mentally, having a big striker behind you who wants to play, thats a pressure (coming) from within, and sometimes people find that hard to deal with." Mourinho meanwhile was slightly critical that Lukaku was not able to get on the scoresheet and thought that the margin of victory should have been bigger.
He said: "The second half should be 5 or 6 nil. "It was even easier to score goals than in first. "But we missed chances and this is football.
"Lukaku had that one with the open goal, and Paul had a free header." United, who are second in the Premier League table, face Arsenal next on Saturday (5.30pm) at the Emirates.
