He proved to be decisive for Belgium in the World Cup, too. He scored four goals in four appearances and grabbed one man of the match award. However, despite scoring four goals in the first five games this season, things have gone horribly wrong since then.
Lukaku is yet to open his mark in the Premier League at Old Trafford this season. It is a cause of massive concern for Jose Mourinho and Manchester United. Even barring the goals, his impact has been negligible in these last few games. He hasn’t scored a single goal at the Old trafford since March.
Evidently, Lukaku is certainly not the player he was last season. Here we take a look at some of the things that have happened since he last scored at the Old trafford –
#1. Kylian Mbappe won four major honours :
Romelu Lukaku has gone 14 hours without scoring at Old Trafford. Meanwhile, the sensational young forward, Kylian Mbappe have won four trophies since then.
The wonderkid lifted the World Cup, won the Best Young Player award at the tournament. He also won the domestic double with his club, Paris Saint Germain.
He won the league title and both Coupe De France and Coupe de La Ligue.
#2. Real Madrid have had 3 managers :
When Romelu Lukaku last scored a goal at the Old trafford in March, Zinedine Zidane was Real Madrid’s manager. He went on to win the UEFA Champions League for the 3rd time in a row but his shocking resignation following the season sent waves in the Madrid camp.
Real Madrid hired Julen Lopetegui, ex-Spain coach and sacked him due to the poor performance of the team. Now, Santiago Solari is the coach of Real Madrid.
#3. Luka Modric won three individual trophies :
Luka Modric won his first FIFA Best award following his superb performance for club and country in the previous season. He also won the Golden Ball for his excellent World Cup with Croatia and won the UEFA player of the year, too.
#4. Real Madrid won their third consecutive UEFA Champions League :
The Los Blancos made history by winning another UEFA Champions League trophy. They won the last three Champions League in the last three years and their fourth in five years.
#5. Cristiano Ronaldo scored his bicycle kick against Juventus and moved there:
Cristiano Ronaldo shocked the world once again with his stunning bi cycle kick goal against Juventus in the Quarter Final first leg of the UEFA Champions League. He gathered massive appreciation from the Turin crowd after scoring for Real Madrid and he shocked the world once again with his move to the same club this summer.
All this since Lukaku scored his last goal at Old Trafford.
#6. Arsenal and Chelsea got a new coach :
Finally, Arsenal managed to replace legendary Arsene Wenger with former PSG boss, Unai Emery. Meanwhile, Maurizio Sarri left Napoli and joined Chelsea after Antonio Conte was sacked.
#7. The entire F1 2018 season happened :
The Formula one Grand prix championship started on March 25th and ended on November 25th. That’s 20 races since Lukaku’s last goal at Manchester United’s home. Legendary Lewis Hamilton won his 5th World title.
