I’d still take RvP now over Lukaku. Not even a hard decision that. https://t.co/Noa3V60r5r

Watched goals from Zlatan, Rooney and RVP in their respective games today and right now that's just about the only Man Utd connection that is cheering me up.

His departure, especially given the short time he was at the club, still bothers me. We haven't had a striker like him since. Rooney, RVP and Ibrahimovic streets ahead of anything we currently have. https://t.co/q9EWb0FZob
