Everton striker Romelu Lukaku is a target for Manchester United.
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.
Indeed, he is the fourth youngest player to hit 80 goals in the competition, having proven to be a consistent performer in front of goal since scoring 17 times for West Bromwich Albion as a teenager in the 2012/13 season. Only Manchester City forward Sergio Aguero has scored more Premier League goals than Lukaku in the last five years.

The age is significant because the real excitement with Lukaku comes from the feeling that he still has the potential to improve. This is not the finished article. Whether or not he goes on to become a United legend could hinge upon that issue: can he add other aspects to his game or will these flaws be exposed in the Old Trafford glare?
