Jose Mourinho delighted with 'very solid' Man Utd win

Romelu Lukaku says Manchester United must show the right winning mentality more often after bouncing back with victory at Burnley.

Two goals from the Belgian saw Jose Mourinho's side end a trying week with a positive result heading into the international break.

Mourinho in particular has come in for heavy criticism after United's slow start to the new campaign but Lukaku believes they have what it takes to succeed this season.

"We have the mentality, but it needs to come out a bit more," he said after the game at Turf Moor. "That is what the manager wants and that is what we need to do. We should have scored more in the first half and more in the second half, but ... we played better than we did last season and there was a big improvement in our play."

The Belgian international said United had made huge strides since suffering back-to-back defeats by Brighton and Hove Albion and Tottenham Hotspur.

"The people will now see a different side of us," he added. "Everything that we worked on in the last couple of weeks is coming out now - lots of quick passing, runs in behind, a lot of action and a lot of chances."
