He has been in devastating form.
Romelu Lukaku is in the form of his life. Anyone doubts about how he’d cope with a big money move to Manchester United have quickly dispelled with a sensational flurry of goals.
The 24-year-old has scored ten goals in nine appearances since his £75million move from Everton, and only missed one match – the 4-1 thrashing of Burton Albion in the League Cup.
Even Jose Mourinho’s admits that there is an over reliance on the goal hungry Belgian:
“Without Zlatan we cannot rotate the striker, especially because Marcus Rashford is playing also in other positions. So until the moment we have Zlatan, we cannot think about giving rest to our number nine, the same way we give in other positions. We cannot do that.”
But ahead of United’s game with Crystal Palace, it sounds as though they’ll be forced to cope without their talisman.
Early reports suggest he has picked up a knock in training, and is a major doubt:
Chance Lukaku may not play today. Has apparently picked up a knock and will have a fitness test today. Not definitely out, but a doubt.
