Romelu Lukaku has fired a message of advice to players who cannot deal with criticism from Jose Mourinho.
The Manchester United manager has endured his most tumultuous season at Old Trafford to date, coming to blows with Paul Pogba, Anthony Martial and Antonio Valencia in just a few short months.
The sideshows off the pitch have not masked poor performances on it, however. Mourinho's men are languishing in eighth place in the Premier League table and Lukaku himself has been incredibly goal shy by his standards, having not scored since September 15.
He maintains his relationship with the manager is good, but suggests those who have been on the receiving end of Mourinho's direct style of management must 'deal with it'.
'I think he has a good relationship with the players,' Lukaku told Bleacher Report.
'I don't really pay attention to what his relationship is with the other players, to be honest. I don't think it's something that should affect me.
'If he [Mourinho] has an argument with somebody I mean, deal with it, man. You're a grown-a*** man, deal with it.'
The Belgium international has scored just four goals for his club all season, which has certainly not helped to relieve United's plight.
Mourinho dropped Lukaku for the clash against the striker's former side Everton last month, citing that he wanted to protect him from criticism.
However, should he heed his own advice, Lukaku will be well equipped to cope with the withering attacks of his detractors.
