'Lukaku can make Man Utd title winners' - Osman backs £75m striker to be Mourinho's missing piece

The Belgium international's ex-Everton team-mate believes a reputation as a flat-track bully could actually prove to be a positive for the Red Devils

Romelu Lukaku could prove to be the difference-maker in Manchester United’s Premier League title quest, claims Leon Osman.

The Belgium international has completed a £75 million move to Old Trafford from Everton.

Osman played alongside the burly frontman at Goodison Park, so is well aware of the impact that he is capable of making.

He believes that the 24-year-old could be the final piece of the jigsaw for Jose Mourinho, with his reputation as a flat-track bully considered to be a positive given United’s struggles to grind out wins against the so-called lesser sides in 2016-17.
