"Forget it. He's too important to me." The Portuguese was speaking to the media after United's 3-0 friendly victory over Valerenga, a game in which £75million arrival Romelu Lukaku was on target with a header from a corner."It's nice. Strikers like to score goals," Mourinho said of Lukaku's strike. "It's not important for me but probably it is for him, for his confidence. "We managers are many times happy with strikers, even when they don't score, because of the way they participate in team organisation and game plans. But to them, scoring goals is always important." Defender Victor Lindelof was mostly untested as United kept a clean sheet with ease but Mourinho picked out the centre-back, who received criticism amid some uneven displays on the club's tour of the United States, for praise. "Step by step," Mourinho said. "Benfica is a giant club, I always think that players coming from Benfica come mentally ready because they're a big club and the responsibility to play for them makes players ready. "But the Portuguese league is different. Benfica is one of the dominant teams so he's more used to playing with the ball. He needs his time. We'll give him his time. Manchester United is a huge club, huge responsibility. But I'm happy with what he's doing."</blockquote>
