EDDIE Howe admitted Cherries must do a “better job” of keeping quiet powerful frontman Romelu Lukaku.
The Belgian striker could line up for Manchester United when they visit Vitality Stadium tomorrow (12.30pm).
Lukaku is without a goal in nine games for Jose Mourinho’s men and was dropped to the bench in Sunday's 2-1 win over Everton.
But with eight goals in seven meetings with the Dorset club, Howe is fully aware of the striker’s prowess.
The Cherries boss told the Daily Echo: “He is a tough opponent and we have always found him a very good player.
“Physically he is so strong. He can score goals aerially and has a lovely left foot, which we have found to our cost.
“If he plays, we are going to have to do a better job of dealing with him than we have done in the past."
