Belgium star Dries Mertens makes rude joke about Romelu Lukaku goal celebration

BELGIUM star Dries Mertens saw the funny side of Romelu Lukaku’s goal celebration during their win against Saudi Arabia on Tuesday.

The Manchester United striker bagged a first half brace in the win against the Saudis to take his  tally to ten goals in his last six games for the Belgians.

But it was his team-mate Mertens who took the comedy to social media posting a picture of Lukaku sunk to his knees celebrating his second goal, thanks to an assist from Eden Hazard with a suggestive caption.

Mertens said on twitter: “There are other ways to thank us for the assists Rom…”

Fans saw the funny side of his naughty gag, Ryan Macaluso replied:“That is the most savage caption I have seen in a while.”

CallumCooneyy_ said: “Imagine if Lingard posted this man, would be getting absolutely rinsed.”

Mertens, 30, is hoping to inspire others to follow in his footsteps and take on charitable causes.

Earlier this month it was revealed he fed pizzas to the homeless, rescued a dog shelter from closure and even 'married' a young cancer patient he had met at hospital.

On one night in December, Mertens decided to buy a stack of pizzas and hand them out to people in Naples.

He previously had got 'married' to a teenage cancer patient, Aurora, with whom he had become good friends.

On Instagram he wrote: "Unfortunately I am already married, because you are a wonderful girl!"

The forward is a frequent visitor to children on terminal and intensive care wards.

Along with wife Katrin, he also paid for a local dog shelter to stay open when it faced closure.
