The Belgian international striker found the back of the net on his first game in Europe’s premier competition for Manchester United at Old Trafford, as Basel were beaten 3-0.

Lukaku’s last goal in the Champions League came way back in Anderlecht’s play-off round defeat to Partizan Belgrade in August 2010, but yesterday was the first time he had scored in the competition proper.

He was pictured enjoying himself with two friends out in Cheshire today, and despite sporting a £1040 Givenchy designer jumper, he was somewhat upstaged by one of his pals who dressed in a bright red Nike tracksuit.
