Romelu Lukaku believes he has “something special” with team-mate Marcus Rashford that can set United apart in the future.
Lukaku scored twice on his Premier League debut for United in their emphatic 4-0 win over West Ham on Sunday, which put them top of the table.
Rashford set up Lukaku's opener and the £75million striker believes the forward pair have an understanding that can see United deliver success.
“With me and Marcus, there’s something special,” said Lukaku.
“Hopefully we can produce even more [in the future] than we did today.
“We clicked from the first day that I arrived, and I knew that he would help me settle in at the club.
“I knew Jesse [Lingard] from before, and Paul [Pogba], they’re probably my closest friends in the dressing room, but I get on with everybody in the team.”
The 24-year-old summer signing from Everton, who scored 25 Premier League goals last season, revealed his disappointment at only scoring twice.
“I wish it was three goals and a hat-trick to be fair,” said Lukaku, speaking to MUTV.
“I was thinking about the third goal. I’m a striker so I’m always thinking about scoring goals.
“Strikers are there to score goals and, if you stick to your job, you’re going to do well.
“But, at the end of the day, I want to win and the team wants to win.
“So I’m really happy that everybody performed well and that we’ve set a high standard.”
