Belgium international Romelu Lukaku has thanked Michael Carrick for transforming him into a better player during the second half of last season. The 24-year-old joined United on a £75m deal from Everton last summer and despite his mid-season struggles, he ended the campaign on a good note with 29 goals across all competitions.

Speaking on MUTV, Lukaku credited Carrick for his improvement during the second half of the campaign after he had gone through a phase where he was struggling to find the scoresheet, he told MUTV: “Michael, I want to say a big thank you for what you’ve done for me since January. I mean, not a lot of people will know that now we do video sessions after every single game to prepare for the next game and, like I’ve said, sometimes you think those video sessions don’t help me going forward. But they do because I became a better player and I became a better version of myself.”
