In a duel 13th round of the Premier League, the Red Devils defeated Brighton as much as possible thanks to an own goal of Lewis Dank, who cut the ball into his own net after Ashley Young.
Despite the fact that in this match Lukaku failed to distinguish himself with the scored ball, Mourinho was pleased with the game of the striker.
"At the last minute of the match, he continued to fight and accelerate as if it was only the beginning of the fight. This is an indicator of his character, "said Mourinho.
"The way Romel earned the corner, after which we eventually scored, and the way he took the ball from the opponent in the position of the left defender - these are the signs of exactly the mentality that I want to see in the players".
"All players are primarily people, because it happens in different ways. Someone can go beyond their own capabilities, and someone is not capable of this, even with a huge talent ".
"For me, Romel is a fantastic player. He did not score - I do not care, "- said Mourinho.
This season, Lukaku scored 8 goals in the Premier League.
