Lukaku playing with his back to goal, dropping deep, the first time pass at 1:47 was brilliant
Massive improvement than when he was here but that compilation is not exactly a shining example. It's mostly basic back to goal hold up play with awkward technique and touch. Don't get me wrong, he's doing it as good as he can but the pressure from the defenders isn't Premier League quality or intensity.Tweet

Have you actually watched Lukaku?Compared to the statues we have upfront Lukaku is a natural forward . Martial seems to think standing still in the box is all you have to do .
Rashford tries but the instinct is rarely there to get into the right postions at the right time .
I stick up for Ole a lot but just cannot defend the decision to sell a proper central forward and expect Rashford and Martial to be anle to replace him
Yeah his hold up play was generally terrible with us. That said for some reason we often resorted to lumping it long to him under Jose, which made no sense as he's rubbish in the air.Massive improvement than when he was here but that compilation is not exactly a shining example.

He's doing well getting regularly game time, trust from his manager and playing in a functional team in a generally weaker and slower league.
May have cost Inter a Champions league spot.
EDIT: Or not! Scores.
It's Barca B team so that still holds ')Don't believe you as according to most people on here he never scores against good teams
He scored a lot in the world cup.Question:- Can Lukaku just scoring against Barcelona be classed as his highest profile goal against a club side...or even his highest profile goal ever ????
Have you seen Barça's line up ?Don't believe you as according to most people on here he never scores against good teams
His pathetic record was 1 goal in 27 appearances over two years against the top 6 in the PL for Utd. So yes he does score occasionally against decent sides, but it’s a rarity.Don't believe you as according to most people on here he never scores against good teams
Against Panama and Tunisia.He scored a lot in the world cup.
Yep against 2nd rate international teams like Tunisia & Panama but not Brazil or France in the last World CupHe scored a lot in the world cup.
I’m sure he will have more enjoyment telling his grandkids how he scored against Barcelona than PSG.Against Panama and Tunisia.
I'd say his goals against PSG were biggest game he's scored in.
Maybe he will, but I still think his PSG goals were bigger.I’m sure he will have more enjoyment telling his grandkids how he scored against Barcelona than PSG.
Dead rubber for Barca though, haven't heard of half of their side. PSG was a real game.I’m sure he will have more enjoyment telling his grandkids how he scored against Barcelona than PSG.
In the critical nature of the Man Utd PSG tie then yes correct it was bigger, but as John Barnes most memorable goal was in a meaningless friendly against Brazil I have a feeling Lukaku will have more joy talking about scoring his one (so far ) goal against Barcelona than his two against PSG.Maybe he will, but I still think his PSG goals were bigger.
His goals against a full strength PSG games came in a proper game as opposed to this Barcelona B side.In the critical nature of the Man Utd PSG tie then yes correct it was bigger, but as John Barnes most memorable goal was in a meaningless friendly against Brazil I have a feeling Lukaku will have more joy talking about scoring his one (so far ) goal against Barcelona than his two against PSG.
He will probably knock us out. Teams like inter is something we struggle against.You know it's nailed on we get drawn against them and he gets to come back
I hope Old Trafford slaughter him. None of that respectful shit.You know it's nailed on we get drawn against them and he gets to come back
Rashford has 10 league goals at this stage, 13 goals in total.Anyone still moaning about us getting rid of Lukaku needs to watch his performance tonight.
Yes he scored a goal, he'll always get a decent number of goals.
But he missed 3 absolute clear cut chances and his all round game is still fecking awful. Not bringing in a replacement was the real issue, that's the big mistake.
I'm so glad he's not our problem anymore.
Well yeah, losing Martial for a few months meant Rashford had to play up front where he struggled. If we had another option Rashford could have stayed on the left and maybe he would have even more goals.Rashford has 10 league goals at this stage, 13 goals in total.
Lukaku has 10 league goals for inter, 11 goals in total.
Last season at this stage
Rashford: 3 league goals, 4 goals in total.
Lukaku: 5 league goals.
League goals in total last season:
Rashford: 11
Lukaku: 12
So there's that....
Issues have been injuries to key players at the wrong time.
