Romelu Lukaku was not happy at Manchester United

Romelu Lukaku, in an interview with Ian Wright on his Youtube channel, revealed that he wanted to go somewhere where he could learn other aspects of his game and work with someone who wanted him there. Romelu Lukaku added that it affected him a lot when people started talking about his body shape in Manchester. 

“One bad year can happen to everybody in their career. It was just done for me, Yes [it bothered me that people were talking about my shape], it got to my head. Training is different, here you work hard. They work you hard. Speak to Ashley Young. There’s a lot of difference, here the team is the team, there’s like team bonding, we have two or three team dinners every three weeks, all together, nobody misses out." said Lukaku
