Romelu Lukaku in action against Costa Rica

The forward transferred to Manchester United at the start of last season with much fanfare. A 27-goal season is by no means a bad turnout, but Romelu Lukaku faced criticism from many quarters for being inconsistent and failing to deliver in big matches as Jose Mourinho's wards went trophy-less despite finishing second in the league.

On Monday night, however, he was back to his best, rampaging through the Costa Rican defence and demonstrating his top two abilities speed and strength. In this form, Lukaku could be an ideal contender for the coveted Golden Boot award, he can also lead his side to the trophy by the dint of his own abilities.
