Not wishing to see any part of the transfer go undocumented, Lukaku kept his social media followers updated on the progress of his medical via Instagram story.

In a series of video clips and pictures the 24-year-old chronicled his check-up from waiting room to completion, even taking time out to sign a young United fan's shirt at one point. The final picture showed Lukaku giving a thumbs up with the caption: 'Finito!'.

Since the sensational story of United's hijack £90m deal for Lukaku was broken by Sportsmail last week it has moved at quite a pace.

On Saturday night it was confirmed that the Old Trafford club want to proceed with plans to give Lukaku a 'Hollywood' unveiling in Los Angeles despite the striker being arrested by Beverly Hills police after holding a noisy party that disturbed neighbours.

Jose Mourinho and the United squad head to California for the start of an 18-day US pre-season tour and the club are keen to show off their big summer signing as soon as possible, with Lukaku already in LA where he has been on holiday with United star Paul Pogba.

Lukaku's move, however, took an unusual twist when it was reported by US celebrity website TMZ that he had been arrested and given a citation by police for disturbing the peace at a party thrown at his rented holiday home on July 2.

It was claimed the property had been visited six times by police following multiple complaints about the noise. Lukaku, 24, was not taken to a police station or formally booked but could still face a fine and has been ordered to a court case in October.

Beverly Hills Police Department said in a statement: 'On July 2, 2017, at approximately 8pm, Beverly Hills Police Department officers arrested a 24-year-old male subject by the name of Romelu Lukaku Bolingoli. 

'He received a misdemeanour citation for Beverly Hills Municipal Code Violation 5-1-104 — Excessive Noise. The citation was issued after officers responded to five other noise complaints from the same location, which resulted in verbal warnings.

'These noise violations occurred at a residence in Beverly Hills where Bolingoli was temporarily residing. Bolingoli was released at the scene with the citation and was not physically arrested.

As the incident took place a week ago, United are insisting they see no reason to change their intention of presenting Lukaku to the media in the movie and television capital of the world. 

United are staying in LA all week before playing their first game against the local Galaxy team on July 15.
