Are Man United serious title contenders with this latest big-money addition?

Football’s worst kept secret is on the verge of final confirmation as Romelu Lukaku nears his £75 million switch to Manchester United. The influential Belgian international is set to re-join Jose Mourinho at Old Trafford after reportedly snubbing his former employers in the shape of Chelsea.

Social media has had much to say on the topic…

Whilst the upcoming deal is yet to be finalised…

…it seems as if Romelu Lukaku will soon be on his way…

 

Lukaku posts a heartfelt farewell message to Everton fans, before getting back to sitting by the pool with Paul Pogba in LA, and doing dabs.

This might not be what Chelsea fans want to hear right now…

…but in the eyes of Manchester United supporters, things couldn’t be going any better…

 

Can’t wait to see what creative ideas the club uses to announce Lukaku. Better be as good as the Pogba saga! #MUFC

Could Jose Mourinho be on the verge of landing his first league title for the Red Devils?

 

Victor Lindelöf and Eric Bailly are both 6’1. Romelu Lukaku and Paul Pogba 6’3. Marouane Fellaini 6’4. That’s got to be intimidating.

…some aren’t entirely convinced…

 

Retweet if your CB has a better first touch than Lukaku

But whilst Red Devils fans wait for the deal to be completed…

 

I’m worried that we’re taking ages to announce Lukaku because we’re creating the most embarrassing transfer announcement of all time. #MUFC

It’s bound to be exciting for Manchester United supporters one way or another…

 

United have a £75m fee agreed for Lukaku, a player Mourinho didn’t want at Chelsea because he wasn’t good enough to lead a title side….
