The Belgian has shouldered the weight of being the focal point at Manchester United’s attack, and he’s been clinical. These last three games he has been starved of the ball — there’s only so much he can do.

Lukaku has managed seven goal and three assists so far this season. And with Pogba’s return on the horizon, he’s sure to find the mark more often.
