Romelu Lukaku scored on his debut for Chelsea as the Blues came out comfortable 2-0 winners against Arsenal last night.
After the game, Manchester United supporters on Twitter were asking why the Red Devils decided to sell him in the first place a couple of years ago:
Ole made huge mistake selling him …

If only he played at United.

When you consider what shape he was in when he was at Utd, he wasn't.

too bad we chased him away from united to accomodate rashford

At the time, it was reported that Lukaku wanted to leave Old Trafford, and manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer simply granted his wish so there can be no blame attached for the Belgian being sold.
It must also be pointed out that the 28-year-old has improved a lot as a footballer over the last two seasons, having worked on his game under Antonio Conte at Inter Milan, culminating in the Nerazzurri winning the Serie A title last campaign.
United are not exactly short of firepower themselves, with Mason Greenwood scoring once again against Southampton at the weekend, with Edinson Cavani yet to come back into the side as well.
