Manchester United supporters in the Transfer Tavern are delighted at the reports that they’ve agreed on a deal to sign Everton’s Romelu Lukaku.
Things were seemingly quiet on the Old Trafford front following the arrival of Victor Lindelöf, now United’s transfer activity is brimming with life once more having agreed a reported £75M deal to sign Romelu Lukaku. Since the 24-year-old’s departure from Chelsea in 2014, the striker has testified his status as one of the most lethal forwards in European football.
The Belgian has scored 71 goals in 133 games for Everton, a purely marvellous total. This reflects the success he’s achieved throughout his professional career. At the age of just 24, the Toffees forward has already scored 145 goals in 317 appearances, a truly stunning statistic that displays Lukaku’s goal-scoring aptitude.
Our landlord has opted to look at two consequences that could derive from Lukaku’s arrival at Manchester United this summer.
20+ goals a season guaranteed
Romelu Lukaku flaunts one of the most startling goal-scoring records in world football. He has successfully reached double figures for the last five season with regards to his goal total, the fewest of which was 16 goals in 2013/14, with the most being scored last season, a total of 26 goals. For the third season in succession, the Belgian has scored more than 20 goals, which displays the adequacy of his ruthless finishing. United desperately require a striker following the departure of Zlatan, Lukaku is seemingly the perfect fit.
While the Belgian may not be the most creative of players, his work isn’t always alluring, yet he does guarantee you goals. His imposing presence and unrivalled physicality have moulded the Belgian into one of the most potent attackers in the Premier League. At the age of 24, the former Chelsea forward still has time to refine and improve aspects of his game.
A productive partnership with Pogba
Manchester United’s record signing is now considered to be their creator, the man that possesses the key to unlock enemy defences. He registered a reputable total of 11 assists in all competitions for the Red Devils last season, and now he faces the possibility of forging a proficient relationship with Romelu Lukaku. The pair have been pictured on holiday together and could be primed to breach opposition defences in the Premier League this forthcoming season.
If Lukaku has consistently managed to score a high tally of goals with the service he received at Everton, it is conceivable that his goal-scoring total will increase significantly at Manchester United. With the illustrious likes of Pogba feeding the prolific Belgian, Mourinho could exhibit one of the most productive partnerships in the league this upcoming season.
