During his three-year spell at Everton, Romelu Lukaku was seen as a talismanic figure.

The Belgian was a reliable goalscorer in Roberto Martinez's ranks, but in 2017 he opted to join Manchester United.

The striker's departure left his relationship with some Everton fans fractured, but others have managed to move past it.

Lukaku became an instant hit at Old Trafford, but this season he has struggled to make a significant impact.

In fact, the striker has scored four goals in 10 appearances in all competitions and his drought for United has stretched to six games.

Lukaku is having much better joy on the international stage as he recently netted twice in Belgium's 2-1 win over Switzerland.

While on duty with his country, the forward has made some interesting remarks about his future.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport, when asked if he would consider moving to a club in Italy, he replied: "Why not? I hope so."

This, of course, does not mean that he intends to leave United in the very near future, but his comments have sparked a reaction from some Everton fans on Reddit.
