Dimitar Berbatov has called for Romelu Lukaku's critics to reduce their criticisms of the Manchester United striker and urged him to go back to keeping things simple in order to start scoring.
Lukaku has struggled for form and to score this season, he also went blank as United lost 1-0 to Juventus in the Champions League earlier this week.
"There has been a lot of criticism for Romelu Lukaku since the game but you'll never catch me having a go at a fellow striker," he told Betfair.
"I know how difficult it is.
"I remember when I was on a bad run at United when I hadn't scored for seven or eight games, but then scored five in one game. It happens to everyone.
"I know he's not scored for eight games, but I don't think the criticism of Lukaku is fair. As Jose Mourinho said, he's working very hard for the team, but this might actually be working against the striker.
"He wants to impress so badly that he is doing too much, and not doing the simple things like getting into the box.
"He is probably over complicating things; you don't want to see him popping up at left-back as he did on Tuesday."
Lukaku will have another opportunity to score when United face his former club Everton this weekend.
