Three Premier League goals in two matches for £75m striker Lukaku and
a man of the match opening day award for the Serbian midfielder who has
cemented his role as an influential on-field figure at Old Trafford.
And Henrikh Mkhitaryan has pinpointed the reason why at least two of manager Jose Mourinho 's £140m summer investments have made a major impact immediately.
But Mkhitaryan promised United were not getting ahead of themselves, saying: 'Let's not rush because it's only two games played.
We still have 36 games to play in the
Premier League. So let's go just step by step to try and win every game
and at the end see where we arrive.'
Summer
signings Lukaku and Nemanja Matic have both hit the ground running
after making respective moves from Everton and Chelsea.
Lukaku
has scored three goals in two games and Matic has been a towering
midfield figure in screening the back four and getting United on the
front foot.
Mkhitaryan's own performances, in contrast, have flown under the radar.
But the Armenian came up with two more assists at Swansea and has created four of United's eight goals.
'I'm very happy I could assist twice but I
enjoyed more of the teamwork than what I have done myself because
football is a team sport,' Mkhitaryan told MUTV.
'Last
year the atmosphere and environment in the team was amazing but this
year it is much better. It's not that something has changed but we have
become more close to each other.
'Maybe that's why our new signings have shown that everything is good and are helping us from the first game.
'We are very happy for Romelu and Nemanja
that they are playing and I hope that Victor (Lindelof) is going to
start playing as soon as he can.
'We are trying to support them to settle down quick because it's very important for us that they show their best quality.'
