Romelu Lukaku to Manchester United: What will the striker bring?

Prolific striker Romelu Lukaku looks set to finally get his chance at Champions League level but what exactly can he bring to this Manchester United team? Adam Bate examines the Belgium international's strengths and weaknesses.



Romelu Lukaku is on the brink of becoming one of the most expensive signings in football history. The 24-year-old striker is set to make a £75m move to Manchester United and thoughts have already turned to his suitability. Can he live up to expectations? Will his all-round game stand up to the scrutiny at Old Trafford?
On the face of it, it is all rather strange - and not just because the step from the team who finished seventh in the Premier League last season to the side who finished sixth is, in that sense at least, hardly huge. But there is also Lukaku's goalscoring record. He joins United having scored 25 Premier League goals for Everton last season.
