Manchester United secured a bargain when they signed Romelu Lukaku for £75m this summer, according to former captain Roy Keane.

Lukaku scored a brace as United brushed CSKA Moscow aside on Wednesday night, taking his goals total to 10 for the season from just nine games.

“He’s a good player, a good age, he knows the Premier League,” Keane said on ITV.

“He was a bargain at £75m. He’s got off to a good start, and seems like a decent character.

“You look at his record at Everton, and he’s gone to a much better team. It’s so obvious he’s going to get 25-30 goals this season.”

But even if the Belgian does manage to clock up a gigantic goals total, Keane believes he must deliver in the real crunch matches in order to be considered top class.

“The big tests for Lukaku will come in the big games. United haven’t had to play anyone big yet, while you can only beat what’s in front of you.

“The big test for all United strikers is whether he can score the big goals in the big games.”
