(Reuters) - Belgium’s record scorer Romelu Lukaku said he considered quitting the national side after last year’s disappointing European Championship but has been sold on the vision of the team’s new management and is keen to press on.

Lukaku, 31, has also been named co-captain of the team along with Kevin De Bruyne by new coach Rudi Garcia and will wear the armband on Thursday when Belgium meet Ukraine in the first leg of their Nations League playoff in Murcia, Spain.
