A report from today’s paper edition of the British newspaper the Times has highlighted why Premier League side Manchester United decided to give up on Belgian striker Romelu Lukaku and sell him to Inter.
The report details how there was a relationship breakdown between Lukaku and coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. The 47-year-old Norwegian was furious with the Belgian striker because he believed that the player was using his continuous muscle injuries as excuses. Lukaku was constantly complaining about small physical issues which prevented him from play, an attitude that was repeated regularly after training sessions, causing the relationship breakdown.
Lukaku, who is contracted to Inter until 2024, has made 35 appearances across all competitions so far this season, for a total of 2904 minutes. In that time, he has scored 23 goals and provided five assists, flourishing under coach Antonio Conte, who has wanted the player for years. He has formed a formidable partnership with Argentine striker Lautaro Martinez.
