Romelu Lukaku says he will wear No 9 for Manchester United as the striker reveals he asked Zlatan Ibrahimovic's permission before claiming the shirt

* Romelu Lukaku has been unveiled by Manchester United following a £75m deal
* Lukaku will wear the No 9 shirt at United, previously worn by Zlatan Ibrahimovic
* Strikers Ibrahimovic and Lukaku are both clients of agent Mino Raiola
* Lukaku signed a five-year deal at Old Trafford worth around £200,000 a week

Romelu Lukaku has revealed that he asked permission from Zlatan Ibrahimovic before taking the No 9 shirt at Manchester United.

Lukaku was expected to keep the No 10 shirt he wore at Everton following his £75million transfer to Old Trafford after Wayne Rooney vacated that number and moved in the opposite direction.

But the 24-year-old Belgium striker wanted No 9 and approached Ibrahimovic, another client of agent Mino Raiola, for his blessing.


Romelu Lukaku has revealed he will be wearing the No 9 shirt at Manchester United

Ibrahimovic took the number off Anthony Martial when he joined United as a free agent last summer, scoring 28 goals in all competitions before a knee injury in April cut short his season and robbed him of a second year at Old Trafford.

Lukaku said: ‘I always asked my mother what number, and I used to play with the 10 because my mother’s birthday is on the 10th of October, so it’s the 10th month of the year. That’s why I played with No. 10.

‘I asked for the No 9 because I’m a striker. Strikers play with No 9. It’s a nice number, and I asked the permission of Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

'I want to thank him, as well, for allowing me to wear that number.’

United announced their latest signing in Los Angeles, with Lukaku signing a five-year deal at the club worth in the region of £200,000 a week.

Lukaku had spent his holiday in America and joined up with his new team-mates after United arrived in Los Angeles for the start of their pre-season tour.

The Belgium international trained for the first time with United on Monday.

Kocak nih ! Koran terbitan Irlandia, Irish Herald ternyata salah pasang foto dalam pemberitaan bergabungnya Lukaku ke United. Bukannya foto Lukaku yang dipasang tapi foto penyanyi hiphop Inggris, Stormzy yang kebetulan memang tengah memakai jaket biru berlogo United. Seperti tagline salah satu TV swasta di Indonesia, "MEMANG BEDA" hehehe..

TALKING POINTS: LUKAKU SIGNS FOR UNITED

Romelu Lukaku completed a transfer from Everton to Manchester United on Monday and fans around the world are all talking about the Belgian. Here are five hot topics...

1: GOALS, GOALS, GOALS
The Reds scored the fewest goals of the Premier League’s top seven clubs in 2016/17, hitting the back of the net 54 times in 38 games, yet a repeat of that statistical disappointment already appears unlikely with Lukaku now part of the forward line. The striker has tallied 85 top-flight goals from his five full seasons playing with former clubs Chelsea, West Bromwich Albion and Everton (17 in 2012/13, 15 in 2013/14, 10 in 2014/15, 18 in 2015/16, 25 in 2016/17), while also registering 26 assists for his team-mates. He knows the division, he knows the opponents, and he knows how to score.

2: BACK WITH MOURINHO
Romelu was signed for Chelsea by Andre Villas-Boas in the summer of 2011, but briefly worked under Mourinho when Jose returned to Stamford Bridge for a second spell as manager in the summer of 2013. With experienced marksmen Fernando Torres, Samuel Eto’o and Demba Ba all on the books, the 19-year-old Lukaku was sent on loan to Everton and, a year later, he joined the Toffees on a permanent basis to pursue first-team football. Mourinho has observed the player’s progress throughout the following three seasons and decisively signed him to lead United’s attack.

3: THE NUMBERS GAME
Which squad number will Lukaku wear at United? The powerful Belgian wears no.9 for Belgium and that option is available after Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s contract was not renewed by United earlier this summer (due to the Swede’s knee injury), while the no.10 shirt – which Romelu wore for Everton – is also vacant following Wayne Rooney's departure on Sunday. The iconic no.7 jersey has also been up for grabs since Memphis left the club for Ligue 1 side Lyon in January, with no.2 and no.13 the only other numbers under 25 that are currently available for the Reds.

4: POTENTIAL US DEBUT
United arrived in the US on Sunday afternoon ahead of five stateside matches as part of Tour 2017, presented by Aon, and the first of them is against Major League Soccer side LA Galaxy on 15 July. Lukaku could make his unofficial debut versus David Beckham’s old club and the action will be shown live on MUTV. The same can be said for our upcoming games against Real Salt Lake, Manchester City, Barcelona and Real Madrid, plus the European fixtures with Valerenga and Sampdoria, so subscribers will get to watch every moment of him in action.

5: FRIENDS IN THE SQUAD
Followers of Lukaku’s social media will know that the 24-year-old has been holidaying with Paul Pogba over the last few days, regularly posting photos and video of their time together. The presence of the Frenchman will certainly help him settle him at United, but he is not the only familiar face as Marouane Fellaini is also a friend and team-mate from the Belgian national team.

Semoga dengan besarnya ukuran kaki Lukaku maka kekuatan tendangannya juga semakin keras sehingga menambah peluang banyak bikin gol

COLE EXCITED BY LUKAKU ARRIVAL

Manchester United legend Andrew Cole is looking forward to seeing Romelu Lukaku in action and believes the new signing will provide some of the goals he felt were missing last season.

The Belgium international is with his new team-mates in Los Angeles on Tour 2017, presented by Aon, after completing a high-profile transfer from Everton on Monday.

The 24-year-old hit 26 goals for the Toffees last season and Treble-winning striker Cole is confident he can replicate that form for his new club.

"He’s a massive signing," Cole told MUTV. "They’re all big-money signings nowadays but he’s proven in the Premier League. He’ll get goals and that’s what Manchester United missed last season. I think he’s got plenty of those in him.

"Since he left Chelsea earlier on in his career, the way he’s gone about his business is by getting goals. He did it at West Brom, then got quite a few more goals at Everton, and hopefully that trend will continue at Manchester United."

Siapa tahu juga nanti selama masa kontraknya di United Lukaku juga bisa mengalahkan jumlah total gol Rooney
