Sir Alex Ferguson’s former right-hand man, Rene Meulensteen said: “Don’t get me wrong here, Lukaku has obviously had a fantastic season and he is a goalscorer. “But at a club like Manchester United you need more strings to your bow. “What he needs to develop definitely is his game on the ball, in terms of quick combinations with his team-mates. “That is where he falls short, I think, and it’s something that’s not as exposed at a club like Everton. “But if you play at the highest level, your finesse on the ball in the final third, your decision making has to be absolutely spot on. “Yes he would bring power, he would bring strength, but when you look over the years at the strikers United have had, does he fit in the same line of strikers? I don’t think so.”
