Romelu Lukaku: Mourinho makes teams better
The Belgian striker sealed a £75million switch to Manchester United earlier today, putting pen to paper on a five-year deal.
And it seems his feet are already doing most of the talking despite not turning out for United in a competitive game yet!
Juan Mata took to Twitter to express his surprise at the size of Lukaku’s feet.
He appeared to be sitting in a dressing room, wearing what looked like clown boots.
In a tweet, he wrote: “Welcome Romelu Lukaku aka biggest boots EVER.”

Lukaku took the joke in his stride, replying with a laughing and crying emoji.
The 24-year-old meanwhile has explained the role his friend Paul Pogba played in bringing him to Old Trafford.
“It has been a big role," Lukaku told MUTV.
"Of course he is one of my best friends and he is my neighbour as well.

“We are always together on a daily basis so he would explain to me how things were going.
"Last season when he signed for United, to have witnessed that, it really triggered something in my brain and I knew that if one day I had the chance to sign then I would not say no.
"You just know and realise how big the club is, and the hunger it has to win trophies.”
