Harry Redknapp sends warning to Man United about new signing

Birmingham manager Harry Redknapp questions Manchester United signing Romelu Lukaku


Harry Redknapp has warned Manchester United that Romelu Lukaku doesn’t always perform to the highest level.

The Reds Devils managed to pull off a transfer coup after Manchester United beat Premier League champions Chelsea to the signing of Romelu Lukaku.
The 20-time English champions signed the Belgium international in a £75m deal from Everton despite initial talk of the striker returning to Chelsea.
Lukaku scored 25 times in 36 games in the Premier League last season – only Tottenham Hotspur star Harry Kane scored more times than the Belgian star.
Questions have been raised about Lukaku’s big-game mentality following muted performances in Everton’s games against the so-called top five last season.
Birmingham manager Redknapp believes Manchester United will fancy their chances of challenging for the title but admitted doubts remain surrounding Lukaku.
“Jose Mourinho will be fancying his chances too at Old Trafford,” Redknapp told The Sun.
“Providing he gets the right stuff from Romelu Lukaku up front – and I have to say the big lad doesn’t always produce when you really want him to, United will be contenders.”
Lukaku scored 71 times in 133 appearances in all competitions during a three-season stay at Goodison Park after Chelsea sold the centre-forward to Lukaku in 2014.
The Belgian forward didn’t win any trophies during his spell at Everton but was part of the Chelsea squad that won the FA Cup in 2012.

Chelsea fans didn’t need to wait too long to see Alvaro Morata open his account for the Blues as he headed home his first goal for the club shortly after coming on as a substitute against Burnley last weekend. The Spanish striker made an immediate impression by nodding in a cross by  Willian  almost exactly 10 minutes after he had replaced  Michy Batshuayi  in his first appearance at Stamford Bridge. While it wasn’t enough to help us salvage a point on the day, it was still a good start for Morata, who joined these former Chelsea favourites in scoring on his Premier League debut for the club. Tore Andre Flo, vs Coventry, 1997 If you thought Morata’s goal was quick, it was still nowhere close to the whirlwind strike by Tore Andre Flo had on his debut against Coventry on the opening day of the 1997/98 season. The Norwegian replaced Mark Hughes after 68 minutes at Highfield Road and got on the scoresheet just three minutes later, heading in a cross by Roberto Di Matteo. It was the first o
