Lukaku falling short on biggest stage

MANCheSTeR UNITeD paid £75million for Romelu Lukaku to decide the big games. So far, he has come up short.

he has now failed to score in all five games against United’s top six rivals, having only three shots on target. Seven of his eight league goals have been against sides in the bottom half with the other against 10th-placed everton. It is not enough to say Lukaku is starved of service. The likes of Thierry henry and Alan Shearer would conjure something from nothing. If Lukaku is going to emulate great forwards such as Wayne Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo at Old Trafford, he must become United’s game-changer.
