These 2 strikers would be perfect for Manchester United in January

Romelu Lukaku

Manchester United are quite reliant on forward Zlatan Ibrahimovic and, with the Swedish star at the age of 35, Mourinho may look to bring in a long-term replacement for the striker in January.

Thus, the Portuguese boss could take a look at Everton’s Romelu Lukaku.

The Belgian international has been one of the best strikers in the Premier League over the last few seasons, and had his best goal-scoring campaign last time out by netting 18 times in 37 league games for the Toffees.

However, Lukaku looks set to beat that tally this season, having already scored 11 goals in 19 matches, and he is the one Everton heavily rely on to get their goals – arguably, the Toffees would have been in a relegation scrap last season without his goals.

Everton boss Ronald Koeman admitted a while ago that Lukaku’s future is unlikely to be at Goodison Park, and United should look at that as an opportunity to sign the 23-year-old.

There were reports linking him with a move to Old Trafford back in November and, given his age and prior experience of English football, he could be exactly what United are looking for.
