If he’s adequately replaced I’ve no problem with him leaving. Counting on Rashford and Martial solely will end in disaster.I will remove Contes hairpiece and kiss him on his baldy little head if he’s purchased him for Inter Milan

Good. Not a Man Utd type player. Been overstated numerous times but nonetheless his first touch was Sunday league standard. Yet another abysmal signing.
Must be hard to keep putting Lukaku down when he scores goals for fun when given the chances. Fletcher talking about how good his movement was for the first goal, at least someone noticed it!
Going to be a big miss if he leaves and we don't get a better replacement, let me tell you there ain't many better than him for goalscoring.

Always said, if he can play like he does for 30 mins for 90 minutes then he'll be on fire. It's a big if though.
Definitely. There aren't many good strikers around and he is one of the better ones.
If he was a player we were linked with as a potential new signing the opinions of his performance would be completely different on here. His goals won't be easily replaced if we sell him cheap.
I don't want him at United either for what it's worth!
And people say he’s a flat-track bully who only scores against weaker sides!
Reality is who’s a better squad player that we could have than Lukaku ? I don’t want him to be first choice but if we get 20-25 goals a season from him then I’m happy with that, put him on a strict fitness regime though.
I don't think most people would miss him if we get a decent fee.
Good goal scorer, but is very streaky, and has a terrible first touch, and technically poor overall. The sight of him lazily walking on the pitch always made my blood boil.
We do need to replace him though, relying on Martial and Rashford won't be enough.
This whole thing could have been avoided if Ibra hadn't been injured....

42 goals in 96 games for us, I wouldn't call that abysmal. He's scored 37 goals in the last 40 games for Belgium too. I'm still convinced he can be a useful player for us. There aren't that many top strikers out there that would be attainable.
Not sure who we replace him with to be honest. Rashford gets the main role I guess.

His goal record is actually pretty damn good when you look at his age and what not but he's pretty much a flat track bully. Scoring goals against West Ham, Cardiff, Brighton and what not is great but not scoring in big games means you'll only ever be a second choice to those that do at United.
You aren’t worth the teasing Rom. Off your pop.
What squad player scores 20-25 goals a season?
I've never got this argument, he scores goals, I'd rather him score in 14 games against weaker opposition than in 6 games against the better opposition.
If he scored 30 goals in the first game of the season and never scored again would you be happy with that?
He doesn't score consistently enough, regardless of the opposition, he needs multiple chances to score one goal which you don't get at the top level which is where we are aiming to be at.
We've got enough quality or will have enough quality to put average sides to the sword most days so there's no point in having someone you have to carry in the bigger games.
We create about one chance a game.
Who can we realistically replace him with? I would not want to enter next season with just Rashford and Martial as our options. I think we have bigger issues that need fixing right now. With a better system and creativity behind him he would likely perform better.
To add on, when he doesn’t score he is actually harmful to team.
I don’t know how much we’ll ‘miss’ his 28 league goals in 66 games. We need a striker who’ll be putting away near 28 league goals per season. I was desperate to sign him but in all honesty, he’s been a-bit of a disaster.
Overall, he has been a bad signing. And, more importantly, he is not developing in the right direction but looks uninspired and will probably quit football in a couple of years.
Can't wait till he leaves, he's not good enough.
People put too much emphasis on an individual's stats. RvN was prolific for us but didn't add much to us in terms of game play. It was no coincidence soon as he left, our play became more fluent and in turn as a team, we became more dangerous. We're in a very similar situation today. Our play needs to be more fluent and no so static as when we have Lukaku in the team.
This is my major worry. We need to be adding goals to the team not taking them away.
Lukaku is not good enough and I have no issue with him leaving, as long as we adequately replace him.
If Pogba and Lukaku leaves then we are going to be down about 30 goals a season. And we don’t just need to replace that like for like, we need to improve on last years team goals tally. An epic task for OGS imo.
That's my point. We don't need a striker that scores the third or fourth goal in a smashing, we need a striker that opens the scoring
RVN had an ankle injury and lost abit of his mobility. Stop re-writing history. There was nothing wrong with his game play beforehand. Did we not play good football when we won the league with him?
Our football was better when Saha came in for him.
Very happy he's leaving. Still an effective player, terrible fit for us. He'll do well under Conte if that's where he's going.
wish him well wherever he goes
For the money we spent on him we should expect him to do both.
Weirdly probably been the most fluent out of the usual suspects with easily the best movement.
If his latest words are true then certainly sound like there is something in him possibly leaving which I’m not that bothered about but generally our team and our play is rubbish and he wasn’t the biggest problem. No matter what striker we bring in to replace him our football, tempo, intensity and attacking intelligence needs to improve massively from the back, midfield and forwards otherwise we’ll just end up with another non scoring striker.
Not the best example. RVN was an absolutely phenomenal CF. His general play was also underrated. We would have won plenty with him upfront if we had a better team at the time.
This is the best thing I've read today.
That would be a disaster. Then, I rather keep Lukaku
Can't get worked up about losing Lukaku. He's a good finisher but seems to lose that ability in big games. His all round play is, at best, very inconsistent and his control can be downright embarrassing at times. I wouldn't mind him being a sub to bring on through the season, but the guy is one of the few players we have that's worth something on the market and he's unlikely to be happy kicking his heels on the bench anyway, so if he goes, so be it.
Did you not just read what I typed. I said he wasn’t the same after his ankle injury. That was the same season. Jesus.
