AFC Bournemouth v Manchester United - Premier League

Can Lukaku carry his World Cup form into the new season?

The burly Belgian striker will once again be the focal point of attack. In his first season, he managed an impressive tally of 27 goals in all competitions for United. This time, it is the common belief that the Red Devils will be sharper and more penetrative offensively. Lukaku had a superb World Cup with Belgium when he scored four goals to emerge as one of the tournament's top scorers.

With Pogba set to have a more attacking role, Lukaku will fancy his chances to get on the end of his trademark passes as Zlatan Ibrahimovic did so often. Lukaku has enough Premier League experience and is in the form of his life heading into this campaign.

His height, speed and raw power gives him a definite advantage when it comes to being a target man up front. Just like Robin Van Persie did a few years ago, Lukaku too can score the goals that will deliver the title once again to Old Trafford.
