Is Romelu Lukaku too muscly? Well some people certainly think so following Tuesday night's Champions League outing.
Manchester United fans are of the impression that Lukaku has been hitting the weights too hard, and reckon he needs to lean up ahead of the rest of the 2018/19 campaign.
The Belgium striker has only weighed in with four goals in all competitions this season, and is clearly struggling for form and lacking confidence in front of goal.

Despite experiencing a baron spell, Jose Mourinho has backed his man.
"No criticism at all," he said after his sides 1-0 defeat to Juventus. "But I have to agree his moment is not sweet."
The United manager added: "A complete understanding that the player is a fantastic professional that wants to give everything.

"Not just with the goals he is not scoring but also in his confidence, in his movement, his touch. He is not linking the game well with the team.
"But he is our striker and he a is a good striker we believe in. Could I play Rashford there? But then I don't have a winger as in this moment we have a difficult situation.
"Romelu is a hard-working guy and a good professional. One day the goals will arrive and the confidence will be back."
The 25-year-old bagged 27 goals last season, how many will he net this term?
