Mourinho blamed the absence of Paul Pogba, Marouane Fellaini and Michael Carrick for United’s inability to press Liverpool. The £75m forward did have United’s one chance at Anfield, however, although Mignolet’s save extended Lukaku’s modest return against the Premier League’s so-called big six. However, despite being similarly subdued on his first appearance for United against Liverpool, Lukaku maintained that his reputation as a flat-track bully is unfounded. Whether you play Liverpool or Burnley away you don’t want to get beat and, if you can’t win the game, you make sure you don’t lose the game. That is the mentality we have definitely got in the dressing room but ultimately we want to win every single game we play.”
