Romelu Lukaku wants more goals for Manchester United, having scored his first for the club during the pre-season victory over Real Salt Lake.

The Belgium international's deciding strike allowed Manchester United to come from behind to make it two wins from two at Rio Tinto Stadium in Utah, after they saw off LA Galaxy last weekend.

Having only been at the club for just over a week, Lukaku was delighted to open his account and is confident this will be one of many.

"I'm here to score goals and be the focal point of the team," he told MUTV.

"At Manchester United we play to win," he added. "That's the mentality when I get on the pitch and everything comes with it.

"From the first day, when we had the meeting with the manager in Los Angeles, you just felt that something special was happening.

"But it's down to us now. We need to work hard every day and deliver in the pre-season games to be ready for the new season."

"I didn't take a lot of time (to settle in), I know most of the lads from before, as a lot of them are my neighbours. I just want to be one of characters in the team to help the team win, I've been waiting for this opportunity.

"Now, I am here and it's time to work hard and hopefully, deliver."
