Manchester United legend Ryan Giggs has challenged Romelu Lukaku to deal with the pressure that comes with joining the club following his summer move from Everton.

The Belgian has scored 85 goals in 186 Premier League appearances during his time at Chelsea, West Bromwich Albion and Everton, earning him a £75m switch to Old Trafford earlier this summer.

Giggs is confident that the goals will continue to flow for the 24-year-old, but believes that the level of scrutiny he will experience will be beyond anything he has dealt with in his career so far.

"Manchester United needed some new blood and the injury to Zlatan Ibrahimovic removed the question as to whether he was replaced. Romelu Lukaku will score goals, there's no doubt about that," he told Sky Sports News.

"He's still got to work on his first touch but he has already been scoring plenty at West Brom and Everton and will get more chances at Old Trafford. What he won't have experienced is the pressure of being a Manchester United forward. He wouldn't have felt that before and you can't get away with the odd mediocre performance.

"There were too many home games last season where we didn't take our chances but it's not just down to Lukaku, the rest of the team need to be contributing as well."

Lukaku has already scored three times in pre-season for United.
