Obviously Lukaku has a good goal scoring ratio in the premier league and is younger than Marko Arnautovic, but who is a better striker currently?
I don't think anybody would disagree that Arnautovic is a better all round player and technically superior than Lukaku.
Would you rather have Arnautovic up front for us than Lukaku? Especially in the big games, I accept that Lukaku seems to score a lot of goals in the easier games and is more of a threat in the air but I personally would rather have Arnautovic.
Remember us being linked with him in the summer and people didn't seem happy about it. I think ever since Moyes turned him from a winger to a striker he just seems to have gone up a level and is a massive threat.
Arnautovic

Arnautovic is a better allround player, for that reason he will never be an out and out goalscorer for me.
Lukaku for all his deficiencies keeps finding the net. scored 4 in the league already.

Decent player having a good spell, 2nd half of last season and starting this one. They come and go in the PL. Michu, Pelle etc

During his time at Inter, he was actually Ibrahimovic's understudy since they were more or less similar players (i.e big guys who are good with the ball at their feet). Mourinho then shipped him of because, well, we all know Mou is rubbish when it comes to grooming young, promising players.

Think it was more to do with the players attitude

It was Mourinho's job to make sure that he helps the then youngster change his attitude. The fact that he has since ditched his attitude is prove that all the kid needed was patience + a manager who knew what they were doing.

Not a Man U fan but he'd make an excellent squad player.

Arnautovic is a fine player, holds the ball up well, and is deceptively quick, but Lukaku scores goals. I know who I'd rather have.

You were spouting this rubbish about Arnautovic and Balotelli last week. You said SAF was responsible for Ravel Morrison messing up his career too.
All of them had a stinking attitude and severe lack of professionalism under Jose. No manager can be blamed for that.

If the supporting cast of Sanchez, Martial, Rashford etc were contributing enough goals you'd have a case for dropping Lukaku for an Arnautovic type player.
At the moment they doing anywhere near enough. I'm not a big fan of Lukaku but we need him in team atm.

Lukaku is comfortably better
