Wayne Rooney insists Romelu Lukaku is perfect for Manchester United

Wayne Rooney believes Romelu Lukaku is the perfect signing for Manchester United following his recruitment from Everton earlier this summer.


The Belgium international joined the Red Devils for an initial £75m, and his arrival permitted Rooney to seal a return to boyhood club Everton.

Speaking on TalkSPORT, Rooney said that Lukaku is the perfect player for his former side as he has the right physique and goal scoring potential to improve the squad, he said: "For that United side, he is the perfect player. He is powerful, quick and strong and he scores goals, so certainly will improve that team."
