Since arriving in the Premier League the Belgium international has scored 15 goals in 57 matches against the so-called 'Big Six' - of which he is now a part.
It is a poor return considering the form he has shown over the last two years for Everton and now United and was highlighted again after he missed his solitary opportunity in the goalless draw at Anfield, shooting too close to international team-mate Simon Mignolet.
United legend Gary Neville hit out at Lukaku after Saturday's game, labelling him "distracted" and saying he had "no influence" on the match.
"I don't think too much about it. I just move on," said the striker, against whom accusations of him not scoring important goals only gain more traction when statistics show 13 of his last 24 Premier League goals have been scored after the 79th minute.
"I know expectations are really high but that is something I relish.
"When I was at Everton we have a different mindset going into games. Sometimes it was difficult against some teams when you play not to win and you don't really create chances.
