And Lukaku will certainly be hoping that is a good omen as he looks to lead Jose Mourinho's side to more honours this term.
In addition to matching that United achievement, Lukaku's goal was also his 150th in club football.
Lukaku scored 47 times at his first club Anderlecht, 17 at West Brom, 87 while at Everton and he has notched five goals in all competitions for United, having also netted in the UEFA Super Cup against Real Madrid.
And, in scoring against Stoke, Lukaku matched a United milestone which some of their best strikers in recent years also achieved.
Lukaku's strike against Stoke was his fourth goal in his first four Premier League matches for United, with no player having scored more in the same period.
Robin van Persie, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Louis Saha also netted in their first four league games for the Red Devils before going on to lift silverware with the club.
