How did his second season go?
He only ever scored 3 against us from many, many games. They came in one game.
And like someone pointed out lower down, it was a strange United back 4, and a freak of a game. 5-5
The guy didn't give a shit. Started okay but form nose dived.
He's even said from as early as his second game he couldn't wait to leave
Class act when he was posting up speed stats. Unprofessional on and off the pitch.
It is a move that’s worked for everyone.
He is perfect for a Conte, Moyes & Jose team but for teams that wish to play possession based football, with quick slick interchanges in the final 3rd, he is horrible and ends up breaking down a lot of moves.
I dont care how many goals he scores, if you want a progressive style, anyone who is still questioning his sale needs a slap. One of the best bit of business the club has done in a while was getting rid of him allowing Martial and Greenwood to flourish

He scored in five different games against City ,four games against liverpool .
Every striker will find it harder to score against the better teams because chances will be harder and they wont get as many opportunities, Ruud got the same stuff said sbout him too when he played for us
Lukaku can clearly score given the right opportunity and had he been on the end of the chances we created against Sevilla he would have taken enough to get us into the final
Good striker but not for Manchester United
No guarantee of that. He had his own bad days when it came to finishing.
Don't think we'd finish third with him in this team.
That has to be the most non-issue thing in the history of football controversies. A test that didn't mean anything, revealing nothing that everyone in the world didn't know already.
Your right that it meant nothing, apart from the fact he ended up throwing his teammates under the bus to try and prove a point. A point he tried to prove, because he can’t take any criticism.
Such a selfish, self absorbed player. Has an attitude you wouldn’t even take from a top player, and he can’t even back it up.
Lukaku scores the 4th and 5th goal in a rout. That’s him down to a tee. That’s exactly the type of player he is.
Can’t be trusted to score important goals.
Can’t be trusted to stay fit and not get fat.
Will throw a tantrum the minute things don’t go his way.
Very poor mentality.
Who did he throw under the bus?
Wasn’t it shaw, by highlighting how slow he was in a particular metric, which as an aside made him look good.
He didn’t share any of the metrics that showed how heavy and unfit he was.
To claim that he’s a total professional is absurd. Other players have done it obviously, and it’s not unusual, it it’s not what you should expect from a decent player, and I suppose that’s one of the reasons he’s not.

Shaw, for one. Tried to make out hes unfit and slow whilst he himself is some fit guy.
He was throwing Shaw under the bus by showing how he did on a running test while injured? Everyone knows that Shaw is fast. Did you suddenly start thinking that he's slow, or do you think his opponents did? That's the absurd part.
He was unfit, because he was injured. Anyone reading that list coming away thinking Shaw is slow is extremely stupid, it's just not possible, and anyone thinking the point of the leak was to shit on an injured Shaw instead of showing how Lukaku himself is not slow are even more stupid.
Couldn't care less if he's doing well at Inter. Not a United player. Talking about how he was thinking of leaving shortly after he arrived. Good riddance.
I'm not even going to bother researching what you think he scored elsewhere after claiming he had no problem scoring against United against the likes of Rio and Vidic.
Aren't you the same poster that reckoned before Sundays game that United should have rested their best players as Sevilla would win at least 3-0 regardless and now you think Lukaku would have scored some of the chances the likes Greenwood, Martial got.. .
For a start United wouldn't have created half the amount of chances with him in the side as his first touch and hold up play is dreadful and for the record Rudd was top striker one of the best ever in the Premier league and not a flat track bully like Lukaku.
You mean like he did 2 years ago? And then came out in the interview that some players didn't show up when he was wasting all those chances?
The problem wasn't Lukaku leaving, the problem was that we didn't replace him in the Summer. We went into the season with a 17 year old as our 3rd choice striker ffs.
That 17 year old still scored more goals this season than Lukaku managed for United in 45 appearances last season.
There were plenty of games in the 1st half of the season where we clearly lacked another goal threat when Martial/Rashford were injured. We needed another striker in the Summer. I remember we were linked to Ben Yedder for a few weeks, that was a missed opportunity. He'd have been an excellent stop gap imo.
Biggest problem in 1st half of the season was Lingard, Pereira starting plenty of games and creating next to nothing.
32 goals this season and counting ...
Composed pen after a blistering run. He had to go but I’m glad he’s picking up after what he said about us in midweek.
I dunno, even if he had only scored 500 goals for us this season we could have done with that.
34. Equals Ronaldo for most goals in debut season for Inter
Similar level of player in fairness.
This is literally the first time he's said anything like this. He's been talking shit since before he left.
Good to see he seems to have buried the hatchet.
Also worth pointing out that the comments were made immediately after Inter had made the final. It's easy to be magnanimous in victory. Can't imagine the same comments had he knew we were meeting in the final.
Anyway I hope he wins the Europa tonight, can't stand Sevilla.
His First touch... Again 
Great finish that TBF.
Hahahahahaha.
What a first touch.
What a first touch.
Touch looked just fine to me there.
What a finishHis First touch... Again
Great goal!
Big game player strikes again
His miss at 2-2 a couple of minutes ago also reminded me why I didn't miss him even one bit.
He can score 1000 goals a season. Never a top class striker in a million years.

That was a great first touch to be fair.
One touch finish. Beauty.
He just scores goals...
