Lukaku has announced that he has now joined Roc Nation Sports, posting three photos on his Instagram stories.

 

The Manchester United striker is the first Premier League star to join Roc Nation Sports and the second footballer after Bayern Munich and German defender Jerome Boateng who signed with the agency in 2015.

Lukaku flew to New York to seal the deal after scoring and assisting in Manchester United's 2-1 win over Chelsea on Sunday, February 25.

 

He and his Manchester United teammates were given a three-day off from training and the Belgium international used the opportunity to jet out to New York.

In some Instagram photos, the 24-year-old striker is seen with other Roc Nation Sports athletes like Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette, Cruz and Shawn 'Pecas' Costner, a senior management executive at Roc Nation Sports.

 

“'Couple of family members welcoming Romelu Lukaku to the Roc Nation Sports family,” Costner wrote on his Instagram.

While in New York Lukaku attended a Brooklyn Nets game at the Barclays Center.
