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."
