Lukaku shines at international champions cup

Romelu Lukaku showed just why Manchester United splashed the cash to sign him as Jose Mourinho’s men beat bitter rivals Manchester city courtesy of a 2-0 win at the international champions cup.

Belgium international Lukaku, who arrived from Everton for a reported £75 million, opened his account in the 2-1 friendly win over the real salt lake on Monday.

and Lukaku made it two goals in two games with Thursday’s opening strike in the first Manchester derby played on foreign soil at NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas – where Anderson and Kyle Walker made their debuts for the city.

Lukaku showed his pace and power as he put United ahead after rounding city’s debutant goalkeeper Ederson – who experienced a mixed evening – in the 37th minute and Pep Guardiola’s men crumbled again before half-time.

playing with Lukaku for the first time, Marcus Rashford was not overshadowed as he produced a clinical finish to double the lead two minutes later.
