Former Manchester United's defender, Paul Parker believes that Belgian striker, Romelu Lukaku, lack the key attribute required to excel in Europe.
Parker 53, who won 2 league titles, 1
FA Cup, 1 League Cup and 1 Charity Shield while representing United believes that injured Swede striker, Zlatan Ibrahimovic will be leading the line for Mourinho's men when he returns from his long term injury, especially in the Champions League.
"Lukaku worries me a bit as the most important thing in Champions League football is ball retention and to kill the game, especially if you get a goal in front. Patience is vital; Parker wrote on his Eurosport column.
He doesn't strike me as that kind of player," he wrote in his Eurosport column.
"He has started the season like a steam train and United could easily have waved Zlatan goodbye.
But he is being kept around because United want to win the Champions League this season and he will be instrumental if they are to have any chance.
"If Ibrahimovic comes back in November, December or January - whenever it may be - then when United start the knockouts in February, providing they make it, it will be Ibrahimovic who leads the line and Lukaku will be on the bench, without a shadow of a doubt."
