Lukaku got off to a quick start at Manchester by scoring twice on his debut against West Ham. He also scored a goal and provide an assist last week against his former side Everton at Old Trafford.

Now, by scoring eight goals in eight of all competitions, it is noteworthy that the 24-year-old has also got off to a more superb start than some other Man United legends like Eric Cantona, Andrew Cole, Dwight Yorke, Ruud van Nistelrooy and Robin van Persie.

Lukaku has even scored eight goals faster than last term’s top scorer Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

His most recent goal has given Jose Mourinho’s side the lead over Southampton as they maintain their strong start to the new term.
