QUOTES BY Romelu Lukaku

I've been working to be a pro since I was 11 years old.

At Manchester United, we play to win. That's my first mentality when I get onto the pitch. Then everything else comes with it.

Every striker has to have that edge. When they are not scoring, or when the team is losing, they explode.

People used to talk to me about that and say, 'Rom doesn't play with passion.' I do, but I don't show it too much because in my mind, I'm a guy that thinks a lot about how to win the game. Sometimes I let the emotions just come now, and it helps me.

I love English, Spanish, and German football.

Chelsea and Arsenal tried to sign me when I was 13, 14.

As a young kid, you dream of playing in every big team.

I give my best every day in training and in games; this is the only way that I know how to play football.

I think I've proven that I've improved every part of my game.

At the end of my career, you never know what might happen. I think that a move to MLS... maybe.

I play with Sacha Kljestan, and I talk a lot with him about playing in MLS.
