Man Utd's Ruud Van Nistelrooy gives his thoughts on Romelu Lukaku
Both players were at the centre of their own transfer sagas this summer.
Lukaku looked a certainty to leave Everton for Chelsea, with the Blues identifying the Belgium international as their No1 choice to replace Diego Costa as Antonio Conte's main striker.
However, he ended up leaving Goodison Park for a reunion with Jose Mourinho at Manchester United - despite the Red Devils boss selling him during their together at Chelsea.
Coutinho, meanwhile, was pursued heavily by Barcelona last month with Ernesto Valverde an admirer.
Valverde wanted to sign the Brazil international with Andres Iniesta's future at the Nou Camp growing in uncertainty.
Liverpool, however, managed to retain him with Jurgen Klopp refusing to let him go.
And both Lukaku and Coutinho - despite their contrasting starts to the new campaign - have been given the same rating on the new FIFA game.
The duo have been given the rating of 86, making them among the best players in the game.

And United will be aiming to maintain their 100 per cent record when they go up against Stoke (5.30pm).
