Lukaku has made an instant impact at United since his big-money move from Everton in the summer

His two goals against CSKA Moscow in the Champions League last night took his tally for the season to 10 goals.

Jose Mourinho’s side currently sit second in the Premier League, but level on points with leaders Manchester City.

And Arsenal legend Keown believes Lukaku will play a big part in determining whether United remain win the league.

“I said at the start of the season that Lukaku is the player who determines where the title goes,” Keown told the Daily Mail.

“He has already had a big impact at Manchester United — and I don't think many predicted how adversely his departure would affect Everton.

“It always perturbed me that Ronald Koeman and Roberto Martinez had to keep cajoling Lukaku to keep him on track.
