He is here to score goals and he is doing that. Yes he will miss chances but every top striker will do that. He is not in a circus to entertain people, he is here to score goals , which by the way is one of the most entertaining aspect of football.

He's not just a goal scorer for us. He runs channels, gets involved on the right wing, brings the wingers into the game. He also occupies both centre backs almost for the whole game. And then he still puts the ball in the back of the net regularly. If our team starts finding him a bit more regularly inside the box, he will light up the league.
Man Utd 3:0 Basel
Safe to say he's had a damn fine start to his United career.
Goal machine
Ten goals in his last eight games for club and country.
You can't really ask for, nor expect, more than that. Supreme start to the season.

There was never any doubt.
An absolute steal for £75m
Cheers Everton, you muppets.
He should have had an assist for Mkhitaryan too.

7 apps and 6 goals. Can't argue against that.
Jose is correct, he would have been well over £120m after the Neymar transfer.
6 and 6.
Lukaku, scorer of goals. Who'd have thought?
Even without the goal he has played well tonight.
Yes, my bad. I saw that the goal count wasn't updated on the graphic here, so I assumed the match number wasn't up to date either.
Strong, intelligent and lethal in front of goal. All you need in a number nine. So glad we have him.
Beast and skilled at the same time.
Have seen visible improvment from him in just 6 games.
So lucky to sign him: he will score so many goals for us in future.

No worries, I thought it was wrong here too so had to double check.
Top class.
He puts the ball in the net.
Keep doing what he's doing. Great stuff.
You do Rom Rom Rom, you do Rom Rom.
Not only that, he was fantastic, close to be man of the match for me.
1 goal and he played very well.
His all-around play has been much better than I thought it'd be.
And he's banging in the goals. Been superb so far.

Did some good work today running into the channels and using his strength. Didn't have to do try that hard, should be rested for Everton. Great header for the goal
Our best player today after Fellaini.
His touch and technique under pressure, with his back to goal, is fantastic. It may not be silky, but nobody has a silky touch with a 6' 2" CB on their back. Lukaku is one best I've seen at riding out those challenges and doing something useful with the ball. That's all you need from a striker. I wouldn't swap him for anyone.
6 in 6.
What do we think the aim is for him this season? 30+ in all comps? 35+?

Really lethal in the air.
He's very quick. In the interview with him and Rashford that was posted a few days ago, he claims he's quicker than Rashford. Playful banter perhaps, but he really is so explosive when he has to run the channels.
I've already said I can see him managing a goal per game this season. I'm sticking with that.
Sharp and lively again today regardless of the goal. had him as MOTM
Cracking start to his Utd career. Well done!
6 in 6 and his overall game was very good today. Should have had assist too.
His first goal looked sure goal, it was sort of lucky block by defender.

Scoring a decent amount of goals was never in question, what I am pleased to see is the movement and energy he's showing up top, often when I saw him for Everton he sat on the periphery, didn't close down and waited for the ball to come to him, tonight he was making some really good runs off the ball and applying pressure to both their defenders and their deepest CM.
Goal machine. With no injuries he could be hitting 35-40 goals this season.
40+
Ibra got 28 and he missed a bucket load.
Funny thing is I dont even think we are making as many chances for Lukaku as we were for Ibra last year.
He's doing his job pretty well.
Can't wait to see if he can raise his game even further when Zlatan comes back into the fold to provide some competition.

His best game yet.
All round game was superb.
Seemed frustrated in post match interview that the team performance was lacking. He could've had a few tonight with some smarter play.

I've had this impression, but I don't know how true it is. He's top scorer in the league with 4 goals from 20 shots. Only Kane has had more with 28.
Obviously that doesn't tell you the whole story of the quality of those chances but as a general rule the striker that takes the most shots scores the most goals, and he's right up there on that front.
Feels good to have one of the best strikers in Europe playing for us.
"yeah, he scores goals but that's about it" has to be one of my least favourite expressions to describe a player. not that anyone's accusing him of this, so i'm not sure i'm saying it now in the first place, but this guy is a goal machine. absolutely delighted to have him
