The Belgium international made it six goals in as many Premier League games with the winner against Southampton yesterday.
His goal helped United keep pace with their rivals Manchester City at the top of the table.
But it was also met with sections of the Old Trafford crowd singing about the size of the striker’s manhood, a chant that has been condemned by the Kick It Out campaign.
They followed up with: “We’re Man United, we’ll sing what we want.”
The club and player have been clear in asking for an end to the chant
Manchester United statement
But both United and Lukaku himself have asked for fans to stop singing the controversial chant.
And the Red Devils have issued a warning to fans who will continue to do so by stating they have contacted the police in order to catch supporters who refuse to stop.
“Manchester United has a zero-tolerance stance on offensive chanting and behaviour,” the statement began.
