The goals of the Belgium international have been crucial in helping United to three big wins in their season. Firstly, Lukaku's brace at Crystal Palace was followed by another against Southampton as he bailed United out as they faced a shock defeat to the Premier League strugglers.
The Belgian also dispelled criticism that he’s not a 'big-game player' with an inspirational display in United’s famous Champions League comeback against PSG.
While Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's coaching surely also has something to do with it, the Daily Mail notes how Lukaku's change of pre-game meal from pasta to a ham and cheese omelette has coincided with his goalscoring run.

The Belgian had gone nine games without scoring for Manchester United
“We need Rom facing the goal and not with his back to it. He’s been asked to play wide a few times,” Solskjaer said. “We played with two up against PSG - him and Marcus Rashford - and they might form a nice partnership. I wouldn’t like to be a defender with those two running at me.”
