Romelu Lukaku Defends Jose Mourinho, Hits Back at Critics

Romelu Lukaku has come to the defense of his former manager Jose Mourinho, hitting back at critics who have been questioning the Portuguese coach's tactics and leadership.

Mourinho has been under intense scrutiny in recent weeks, with his Manchester United team struggling to find consistency and win games. The pressure has mounted, and some have called for his sacking.

But Lukaku, who played under Mourinho at Manchester United and Everton, has leapt to his former manager's defense. In an interview with Sky Sports, the Belgian striker said: "I think people are being unfair to Jose. He's a great manager, and he's done an amazing job at every club he's been to.

"I know people are saying he's not the same manager he was at Chelsea, but I think that's unfair. He's still the same manager, and he's still got the same qualities that made him successful in the first place.

"I think people are just looking for a scapegoat, and Jose is an easy target. But I know how good he is, and I know how much he cares about his players and his team. He's a winner, and he wants to win every game he plays in."

Lukaku also hit back at critics who have questioned Mourinho's tactics, saying: "I think people are just looking at the results, and not at the way the team is playing. We're not playing badly, we're just not getting the results we want. And that's football, you know?

"Jose is a master tactician, and he knows how to get the best out of his players. He's not a manager who just sits back and lets his team play, he's a manager who wants to win, and he's willing to do whatever it takes to make that happen.

"I think people should just calm down and give Jose a chance. He's a great manager, and he'll turn things around. I'm sure of it."

Lukaku's defense of Mourinho has been welcomed by many United fans, who have been frustrated by the team's recent performances. The striker's words have also been praised by Mourinho himself, who has thanked Lukaku for his support.

In a statement on social media, Mourinho said: "I want to thank Romelu Lukaku for his kind words about me. It means a lot to me, and it shows that he understands what I'm trying to do here at Manchester United.

"I know we're not playing well at the moment, but I'm confident that we'll turn things around. And I'm grateful to have players like Romelu who believe in me and my methods."
