Lukaku: I Was Always A Victim Of Criticisms At Man United
Romelu Lukaku has disclosed he, Paul Pogba and Alexis Sanchez were always sidelined for criticisms during his time at Manchester United.
Following the arrival of Norwegian trainer Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, the former Everton player enjoyed limited first-team opportunities.
And to be a first-choice striker, the Belgian forward has joined Inter Milan in a £73 million move this summer, insisting he, Pogba and Sanchez were continually made scapegoats at Old Trafford.
“They have to find somebody. It is Pogba, it is me or it is Alexis. It's the three of us all the time.
“They have got to find somebody to blame. I put my hand up, like, this year I don't think I was the only one playing bad. A lot of people were playing bad but they had to find the culprit.
“If they want to put the blame on me, you know what, f*** it, do what you gotta do. I think the team has so much potential to do some great stuff. There is a lot of talent. But it is not only talent; you really have to build a team.
“I think a lot of stuff has been said where I didn't feel protected. A lot of rumours, Rom is going to go there, they don't want Rom and nobody came out and shut it down.
“It was for a good three, four weeks. I'm waiting for someone to come out and shut it down. It didn't happen. I had my conversation, told them it was better to go our separate ways. I just wanted you to say, Rom is going to fight for his place, but it never happened for four, five months.
“It was all, 'He's got to go, he doesn't deserve to be there.
“Well, okay, then I want to go now. There is fighting for your position, but also being somewhere that people want you to be.”
"I told them, It’s not good for me to be at a place where I'm not wanted."
