'With 55 staff supporting him?' - Neville struggling to understand why Lukaku feels overweight

Gary Neville has admitted his confusion over Manchester United striker Romelu Lukaku’s recent comments on his struggles with his weight.

The Belgium international has claimed that he believes his form has been hampered by the extra muscle mass that he gained in preparation for the World Cup in Russia over the summer.

Since returning from the tournament, the 25-year-old has struggled to recapture the form that saw him score 27 goals in all competitions last season.
