Manchester United striker Romelu Lukaku believes he deserves "a bit more respect" for his goal-laden track record. Lukaku has produced a solid early return by plundering 22 goals in all competitions at United, with the latest coming against Chelsea in an EPL tie on Sunday. "That's the situation around me," Lukaku said. "I think I have got a nice record. I started playing when I was 16. Year in, year out people expect 20 goals from me. I think I've proved myself. You expect a bit more respect but it's the situation we're in. I don't listen to it," he said.
