He seems a lot better player than we gave him credit for whilst playing for Everton.
 
First time watching him for us. He took that goal really well from a tight angle.

No idea what their keeper was trying to do though.
Haven't seen Benfica much outside Europe but I found him to be pretty wild there with these kinds of runs out of goal, dribbling past players etc.
 
Loving him already.

Have no doubt that he's going to be a massive success here.
 
Makes great runs. So refreshing to a young proven goal scorers in our team

No wonder, pep has a fetish for those sort of stuff :lol:
 
Not gonna analyze the performance given the context of pre season, just repeat the obvious. The guy has natural goal scorer's instinct: feel for the space, finishing technique (quick release), envision his shooting.... Won't expect him to step up his game to another level in near future, but hope he does what he does best from the get go for us.

More motivated, Mental ego boost, better players providing better service, more experience.... If each of those factors improves by at least 10% each we might have just signed a goal scoring monster.

Feels like right player at right club with right needs at the right time.
 
Drags defenses which zlatan couldnt do due to his pace. Movement is great, i think he is still holding a lot back, yet to see him dominate in the air but his hold up play is fantastic and his finishing looks great too, had that shot gone in, it would have been a 10/10 performance, lovely to see him score also even when jones was called offside he still scored that is what you like, Striker hitting back of net. Fantastic.
 
Seriously, though; a man can finish a fecking ball.
 
Good finish but I don't really care much about pre-season goals.

His link up play was on point and that's what makes me happy. It can be difficult for players coming into the team. He seems to be on the same page with a few players already. I guess this is one of the advantages of buying player so from your own league, that they are probably more aware of their teammates right from get go.
 
Saw him in person and was very impressed. The boy is massive, as well. Lovely finish and nearly had a second.
 
Overall he was very good. His link up, one touch passing was very good. Scored a superb goal, rattled the post and a goal disallowed (which looked onside). Overall he is looking good and playing well as a team.
 
Excellent today. Fantastic goal but his movement, strength, and link up play were all great too. Can't wait to see more from him this season
 
Imagine him at 27-28 in his prime? He will be a fecking monster!

He's been severely underrated on here by a-lot of people. Anyone who's followed his career closely would have seen that his overall game has improved immensely over the past 2/3 years. He's now more of a team player who can bring others into the game and his holdup play is pretty good at times. It's also worth noting that he has 12 assists in the PL over the past 2 seasons which has often been overlooked on here. Fabulous player that some just can't seem to take to, for some bizarre reason.

Yet again proving what a flat track bully he is, scoring against small teams smh
 
Didn't see the game but just seen the goal....what a fecking finish.
 
He's going to to score quite a few screamers this season if his pre-season shots are anything to going by.
 
Finally someone who's going to be finishing Pogba's chances more often than not.
 
I have been very impressed with what I've seen of him in a United shirt so far.
 
Keep him fit and he will win us the league. We missed goals last season.
 
This.

Can see this being a 30 goal season for Lukaku. Easily.

Certainly looking that way. The guy is just class. The rivals are all pretending he's shite but it actually looks like they know he's a damn good player and are running scared.
 
Don't know what people saw in Morata. I'm glad we've signed him.
