Romelu Lukaku can seemingly do no wrong in the eyes of Manchester United fans at the moment.
The 24-year-old has had a stellar start to his career at Old Trafford following his summer move from Everton.
So far in the Premier League, Lukaku has made three outings and scored three goals, two of which came on his debut in a 4-0 rout over West Ham United.
The striker has carried that form with him onto the international stage as he netted a hat-trick in Belgium’s 9-0 win over Gibraltar, as well as a goal in his nation’s 2-1 victory over Greece.
In doing that, Lukaku played a pivotal role in helping Belgium become the first European team to qualify for next summer’s World Cup in Russia.
United were quick to mention their striker’s achievement, and fans responded with plaudits on Twitter.
Lukaku is expected to lead the line for United when they take on Stoke City at the Bet365 Stadium this Saturday.
