Paul Scholes: 'Lukaku misses Pogba'

Former Manchester United midfielder Paul Scholes claims that Romelu Lukaku's recent goal struggles are down to the absence of Paul Pogba.

Former Manchester United midfielder Paul Scholes has claimed that Romelu Lukaku's recent goal struggles are down to the absence of Paul Pogba.

Lukaku made a flying start to his United career, but the Belgian has not scored in his last six appearances for the Red Devils.

The 24-year-old drew another blank against Benfica in the Champions League on Tuesday night, and Scholes has said that the former Everton striker is missing Pogba, who is still on the sidelines with a hamstring problem.

"I think if Pogba comes back he'll make a difference to the way they play," Scholes told BT Sport.

"He links the team together and I don't think they have a good enough No.10 at the moment and that doesn't help Lukaku either. Pogba will make a difference and be more positive. Lukaku is having to do a lot for himself but Pogba will make the difference. They are missing a player to knit the team together."

Lukaku will look to return to the scoresheet when United visit Chelsea in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon.
