The lethal forward had an amazing time in Russia as he scored 4 goals in Belgium's remarkable campaign. Romelu Lukaku was one of the best forwards of the tournament as his strength and accuracy proved to be vital to Belgium's third-place finish.

The Belgian, however, endured a drastic drop in form when he came back to Manchester United as he was often criticized for being out of shape and his performances didn't help his case as he faced the wrath of fans all around the globe on social media for his underwhelming performances.

The Manchester United number 9 is rumoured to be leaving the club in the upcoming transfer as he has been deemed by critics and fans as 'not fit enough' to play in Man Utd shirt.

Lukaku did have a memorable night in Paris when Manchester United famously defeated PSG to edge through to the quarterfinals of UCL but that was it as he failed to carry on, as a result to which The Red Devils missed out on the Champions League spot.

The brawny Belgian scored a meagre 15 goals this term which is just not good enough for the Manchester United centre-forward.
