MOURINHO IS RIGHT - £75M GOAL-MACHINE LUKAKU IS A BARGAIN

The front man was at it again on Tuesday as he led United to Champions League victory with another goal and a convincing performance up front

Manchester United returned to Champions League football after a 21-month hiatus on Tuesday night, and by full-time it felt a bit like they’d never been away.

They saw off Basel 3-0 with a bit to spare at Old Trafford and were led, as they have been so often in the past, by a clinical showing in the final third from a big-name striker.

Romelu Lukaku has a long way to go before his European exploits can be compared with some of United’s great front men, but the Belgian marked his Champions League debut with a crucial goal and a very convincing individual performance leading the line.
