Manchester United ambassador Andy Cole has endorsed Romelu Lukaku’s debut season at Old Trafford, stating his admiration for the Belgian scoring 26 goals as a lone striker.
Lukaku found the net once again during Saturday’s 2-0 Premier League win over Swansea City and, impressively, the 24-year-old now has 11 goals from 15 fixtures across all competitions in 2018.
Cole’s best tally with United was in fact 25 goals during the 1997/98 season and, while appearing on The Paddy Crerand Show earlier this week, he expressed his great respect for the club’s latest no.9.
“Lukaku has had a very good season,” Andy opined on MUTV.
