The Portuguese Ballon d'Or holder wrote that his ban was "incomprehensible" and an "injustice".

And Lukaku, who has enjoyed a stunning start to life in Old Trafford after his £75million move from Everton, appeared to aim a dig at Ronaldo.

A comment from his official account read: "[Lionel] Messi is better mate."

But it was later revealed that Lukaku had been hacked.

More than a dozen images to "epmuusic" were posted, while Lukaku saw his profile picture and bio changed.

Images and links to a Snapchat page for "Matt Walker" were also added to Lukaku's Instagram account.
