Boss: "Lukaku has the mentality I like"

Jose Mourinho has praised Romelu Lukaku for his effort and attitude during Manchester United's hard-fought Premier League win over Brighton & Hove Albion and says the Belgian has the mentality he wants.

The centre-forward put in a solid shift, leading the line against an organised Seagulls rearguard, as Ashley Young's deflected strike off Lewis Dunk in the second half ensured the Reds made it 10 wins from 10 home games in all competitions this season.

Arguably, the striker was signed from Everton last summer to help the Reds win these kinds of matches, which were often drawn last season and, although he didn't find the net against Brighton, his constant chasing of lost causes led to him winning the corner from which United eventually scored the decisive goal.
