Manchester United striker, Romelu Lukaku, has revealed he plays the role of a 'sergeant' in Jose Mourinho side during matches.

Lukaku's 23rd goal of the season helped inspire United’s comeback victory at Crystal Palace on Monday March 5.

A victory that ensured the Red Devil head to Saturday's March 10 early fixture clash with Liverpool two points clear.

And the Belgian hitman Lukaku is fired up for manager Mourinho’s latest seek-and-destroy mission.

Lukaku, 24, said: “The manager thinks I’m his sergeant on the pitch.

“I will always put the team first ahead of myself — and that’s something I have told him.

“The work-rate I’m delivering to the team is a lot.

“Mourinho has been really good to me and he knows I have that soldier mentality.

“But at the end of the day, I’m a striker and have to score goals.”

Lukaku netted in a 2-1 win over Chelsea in United’s last Old Trafford outing — his first against the ‘Big Six’ rival this season.

But the former Everton ace feels he has more than delivered on his £75m transfer fee — with seven goals in his last ten games.

Lukaku added: “The desire to win is bigger than ever since I came to this club, because I always wanted to win and to chase trophies.

“I always put that in front of my personal objectives and the manager knows that.”

United face a crunch five days, with their Champions League second-leg clash with Sevilla coming on Tuesday March 13.
