Manchester United have been blessed with some fantastic strikers down the years - and they're about to sign another one.

Wayne Rooney, Eric Cantona, Carlos Tevez, Ruud van Nistelrooy and Andy Cole were all magnificent during their primes and achieved much success at Old Trafford.

And that's without mentioning the likes of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Dimitar Berbatov, Dwight Yorke and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

Now it's Romelu Lukaku's turn, who is reportedly on the verge of joining United for £75 million after undergoing a medical in Los Angeles on Thursday night.

The Belgian was once believed to be joining Antonio Conte at Chelsea, but in a dramatic twist, Jose Mourinho ditched his interest in Alvaro Morata and hijacked Lukaku's move.

His strength, pace and finishing will be invaluable to United for the 2017/18 season, during which the Red Devils will be challenging on all fronts.

However, there are some football fans out there still not convinced by Lukaku, despite the fact he scored 25 league goals last season for an Everton side that finished seventh.

Lukaku has proved over the past three years that he's the real deal, yet doubts remain as to whether he's cut out for the big time.

Liverpool legend and former United player Michael Owen is one of such doubters.

The much-maligned BT Sports pundit has reacted to the United-Lukaku rumours with a rather bizarre tweet that's drawn some criticism.

In the post below, Owen says: "Is the Lukaku deal done yet? He's still a player I'm not 100% convinced by but he bangs in the goals. At 75m is it good business all round?"

OWEN'S TWEET

Owen asks a perfectly valid question, but he also claims he's still not convinced by the Everton man, despite saying he "bangs in the goals".

Scoring goals, of course, is a striker's job, so what is there to not be convinced about? That's the question Owen's followers were soon asking - here's how Twitter reacted.

At the age of 24, Lukaku still has improvements to make to his game, such as his first touch and decision making, but the fact remains he's a prolific goalscorer.

And that's exactly why United are prepared to spend £75 million to sign him.

If Lukaku was able to score 25 goals for Everton last season, imagine what he'll be capable of when surrounded by Paul Pogba, Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Juan Mata. It's a frightening prospect.
