SCORING nearly goals in all competitions for Premier League giants Man United this season has been a decent return for Romelu Lukaku in his first year at the Red Devils.
The towering 24-year-old striker will also be leading the line for Belgium at World Cup 2018, hoping for a glut of goals in Russia.
And it's not just on the pitch where Romelu has been a hit.
At SunSport we couldn't help but notice that the Premier League marksman has upped his game in the style stakes.
Romelu is happy to mix up his look with high-end fashion and high-street sportswear brands such as Nike and Adidas.
Preferring to keep it casual in hoodies, sweatshirts, T-shirts and trainers, Romelu's look is easy to replicate.
But rather than drop over 400 notes on a Givenchy sweatshirt, why not opt for a more affordable sweater that's just as fashionable.
Let us dress you like Lukaku, but for a fraction of the budget he has.
Street smart Lumberjack
Just like his United team-mate and long-time pal Paul Pogba, Romelu has a penchant for red.
Using a Rolls-Royce merely as a prop, he looked like he was channelling his inner Lumberjack, but with a modern twist.

The stylish shirt, part of the Neil Barrett range, would've set Lukaku back £282.
While, his leather trainers from Balenciaga cost around £400.
- Check shirt, £12 from Boohoo -

- Patent trainers, £10 from Boohoo -
But you can go to Boohoo and get a similar check shirt for just £12 and some patent trainers for just a tenner.
And River Island's £35 jeans will help complete your look perfectly.
Sporty Spiced
When he's out and about in Manchester, Lukaku likes to look stylish and keep warm.
He paired a simple white tee with a Nike Tech fleece bomber jacket that has a retail price of £179.

- Jersey-trimmed puffer jacket, £32 from Selected Homme + at ASOS -
- Leather trainers, £75 from Glorious Gangsta at ASOS -
While the Nike number isn't too expensive, Selected Homme have an almost identical jersey-trimmed puffer jacket for just £32.
The £75 trainers from Glorious Gangsta are also top drawer and are available online at ASOS.
Gone to the dogs
And when we say gone to the dogs, he isn't at the race track.
Showing his love for a Rottie, Lukaku shared a snap on Instagram wearing Givenchy's sweater with a Rottweiler printed on the front.
As brilliant as it is, we'd be hard-pushed in throwing down £415 for it.
- Printed sweatshirt, £8.99 from Forever 21 -
- Cap, £6 from ASOS -
If it's dogs you want, Forever 21 has the answer. Just like Givenchy they have a brilliant printed sweatshirt for £8.99.
Complete the look with an ASOS baseball cap for just £6.
Army man
So that's how he's remained inconspicuous to the opposition.
Lukaku isn't afraid of using Instagram as a tool to share his stylish choices.
Putting the Fresh Ego kid baseball cap to one side, he's getting love for us for his Nike Tech Fleece Camo Hoodie, which is a reasonable £130.
- Camo-print pullover, £35.19 from Urban Classics at Zalando -
- Distressed cap, £12 from River Island at ASOS -
Think the Nike fleece hoodie is too expensive though? Fear not, Urban Classics have a Camo-print pullover for just £35.19 at Zalando.
River Island also have a boss distressed cap for just £12 through ASOS.
Summer holiday chic
When arriving at the training ground, you want to be as comfortable as possible.
That's why Lukaku opted for a T-shirt and short combo, but don't be fooled into thinking it wasn't a costly outfit.
His Philipp Plein White Tomorrow tee would've see him spend an astonishing £260... yeah, on a T-shirt!
- Printed T-shirt, £16 from ASOS -
- Airmax 90 trainers, £94.99 from Nike at Zalando -
- Chino shorts, £18 from ASOS -
So, if you don't want to splash over two hundred notes on a T-shirt (and we don't blame you) you can't go far wrong with a printed tee from ASOS.
Match it up with their Airmax 90 trainers (£94.99) and some chino shorts from ASOS and you'll be well on your way to dressing like Lukaku.
Tat's the man
Why ink your body when you can get a sweater to do all the work for you - with less pain.
When Lukaku shared this image on Instagram, we got sweatshirt envy. This Givenchy black tattoo print number would be perfect for our wardrobes.
However, a quick check on the price tag showed that Lukaku splashed £650 of his wages on it.
- Printed sweatshirt, £35 from Noose & Monkey at ASOS -
- Skinny jeans, £12.60 from Boohoo -
However, Noose and Monkey's sweatshirt through ASOS is a snip at just £35.
And if it's skinny jeans you're after, Boohoo have a pair that'll help you save the pennies for just £12.60.
Popping out to the shops
Don't think popping out to the shops makes you exempt from looking your best.
When Romelu went to Tesco's for honey and toothpaste, he wore a Adidas Z.N.E reversible jacket.

Paired with crop trousers and white trainers, the jacket didn't cost an arm and a leg - he parted with £90 for it, that was all.
- Two-tone tracksuit, £36 from ASOS -
But this ASOS two-tone trackie is perfect for taking a stroll to the supermarket and looks the business.
And for just £36, you can't go wrong for that price.
