Jan Vertonghen has said that his Belgian national team team-mate Romelu Lukaku is fully fit to play for Manchester United against Liverpool this weekend.

Lukaku had to miss his countries World Cup qualifier against Bosnia last week which could have surely worried many United fans.

The Belgian continued his good form on Tuesday by scoring during his countries 4-0 demolition of Cyprus and his also marked his 16th goal of the season for club and country.

Vertonghen insists that the 24-year-old Lukaku is now fully recovered and said: "The goal he got against Cyprus was so typical, a ball in behind and he brushed defenders off and smashed the ball into the net. I am sure he will be fine for Manchester United at the weekend.

"He used the first week with us to get fit. He was injured, I spoke to him and his ankle wasn't in good shape but he has used the time well to recover and he is back and fit again."
