#3 Ever-improving Romelu Lukaku

Yet
Yet another impressive performance from the Belgian

After what has transpired to be a rather topsy-turvy season for the Belgian, form finally seems to have come his way - and it's not just in terms of his goalscoring.

Lukaku, who has looked uncertain and flat-footed several times this season, has suddenly begun to look a lot more menacing. Not just in front of goal, but also away from it, creating chances for the team whenever service is scarce.

In his last 6 games for United across all competitions, Lukaku has now scored 5 goals and assisted 2, and last night's performance was an extension of that run. On a personal level, the Belgian had a terrific game as he utilized his strength appropriately and was a constant handful for Sevilla's defenders to deal with.

With a total of 5 shots, 4 aerial duels won, and 5 successful dribbles, apart from a glorious goal, Lukaku's confidence is bound to grow - as it has in recent times - and if his latest performances are anything to go by, confidence is key and a confident Romelu Lukaku is just what the doctor ordered for Manchester United.
