Today could be a double celebration for Romelu Lukaku.

The Manchester United striker is preparing for one of the matches of his life as Belgium meet France in the 2018 FIFA World Cup semi-final in Saint Petersburg tonight.

The occasion falls on the first anniversary of his transfer to United from Everton.

"When Manchester United and Jose Mourinho come knocking at the door, it is an opportunity of a lifetime and one that I could not turn down," Lukaku told United's official website.

"I cannot wait to run out at Old Trafford in front of 75,000 fans."

Lukaku scored twice on his Premier League debut in front of those fans against West Ham United.

In total, he struck 16 league goals for United, including the one that made him the youngest overseas player to reach a century in the competition, as he helped Jose Mourinho’s side finish runners-up in the Premier League.
