Any regrets, Ole? Romelu Lukaku is outscoring Cristiano Ronaldo AND Lionel Messi in internationals and hit 34 goals in debut season for Inter Milan... so, is letting him go Solskjaer's biggest mistake?

What must Ole Gunnar Solskjaer be thinking?

Romelu Lukaku, the player he deemed surplus to requirements on deadline day a year ago and sold to Inter Milan without being replaced, now sits top of a table that includes Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.

The table in question is goals-per-game ratio at international level and neither Ronaldo or Messi - who have 11 Ballon d'Or awards between them - can keep up with Lukaku.
