After what seemed like centuries of teasing, and gut-wrenching speculation, coupled with a stagnant transfer window Manchester United has a new striker in their ranks.
At only 24 years old, Lukaku has scored an average of 20 plus goals a season at Everton.
Romelu Lukaku favors his left food but is relatively comfortable on his right foot. Of the 25 goals he scored in the 2016/2017 season, 7 of those were scored on his right foot. 6 of the goals were scored through a header and 12 were scored on his favorite left foot.
Strengths
- Finishing
- Strength/ Excellent hold-up play
- Determination
Weaknesses
- Agility
- Moderate first touch
It is thought that his friendship with Paul Pogba was one of the reasons he choose to join Manchester United over a return to his former club Chelsea who had matched United's bid for the striker.

In an interesting turn of events, when Jose Mourinho was the manager at Chelsea he robbed Pedro right from under the noses of Manchester United. Now as the manger of United he has pulled a similar stunt robbing Lukaku from Chelsea. A fitting revenge if I might add, as a Manchester United Fan.
