Wayne Rooney believes Romelu Lukaku is "the perfect player" for former club Manchester United.

Jose Mourinho's side brought in the Belgium striker for a hefty £75million in the summer but are already reaping the benefits from the signing.

Lukaku has netted four times in four appearances in all competitions for the Red Devils.

Rooney traded places with the 24-year-old, moving to Everton on a free transfer.

The 31-year-old has also started life well at his new club, scoring twice in three Premier League appearances.

In an exclusive interview with TalkSport, Rooney said: "For that United side, he is the perfect player.

"He is powerful, quick and strong and he scores goals, so certainly will improve that team."
