Romelu Lukaku completed his transfer to Manchester United last night, with the Red Devils announcing the move via their official website.
Only Harry Kane scored more goals in the Premier League last season than Lukaku did for Everton, with Tottenham making clear he was unavailable, United have bought the best striker on the market in the division.

Lukaku had been strongly tipped to join reigning champions Chelsea, and so United winning the race is a major power play by Jose Mourinho’s side.
The Red Devils only finished sixth last season due to poor finishing and drawing too many home games. It is hoped that Lukaku’s arrival will ensure that is not repeated in 2017/18.
