Did Lukaku admit he has gained weight?

Manchester United talisman Romelu Lukaku has admitted that he returned to the club with a different type of physique after the 2018 FIFA World Cup and has been trying to lose muscle in a bid to rediscover his best form.

Lukaku has struggled for form this season going 12 games without a goal for Manchester United but has broken his barren spell, scoring two goals in three games. The former Chelsea striker had a stellar performance in the 2018 World Cup for Belgium scoring four goals and helping them to a third-place finish in the tournament.

The Belgian admitted that he gained some muscle after the World Cup but is looking to shed some in a bid to rediscover his form.

“It was at the World Cup. I just felt great and I think I played great over there and then when I came back it is a different type of style. When you are in the Premier League, I cannot play with the same amount of muscle as international football here in the Premier League.

“That was something that when I came back I knew straightaway. ‘Nah, nah, I cannot play in this style like this’.

“I had to lose muscle basically. So you just stay out of the gym, drink a lot of water and eat a lot of vegetables and fish, and it helps.”
