Shame he didn't really show it here and had no intention of giving his best for United
Why wouldn't we? He's been mouthing off for ages.
This.
We have one of the best defences in Europe?
Watching this I dont understand the levels of hatred and dislikes this guy gets. He's not some little weasel like Di Maria who was just undeserving of all the praises and welcoming reception he received from all of us at his short stint at United.
It's good to see he's not as bitter as the majority of posters in this thread.
Exactly, Lukaku enjoys WKD and lads holidays in Magaluf whereas Martial enjoys the works of Tolstoy and visiting Cordoba to see the classical architecture.
Lukaku is much more likely to score on his holiday.
most clean cheets in the 5 big leagues, and with a goalkeeper that has been in such bad form the fans want him gone
But now he’s respectful, a class act. People forgetting he’s been nothing of the sort for a year.
Has he? Unless you're obsessively following him i don't think most have noticed.
Depends what you define as most and such strong emotional bitterness.
As far as I know he has talked about how he didn't fit and wanted out, how he didn't feel wanted or protected by the club when he was benched and transfer rumours started without him hearing anything from the club, and that he felt like players like him and Pogba were made scapegoats by the fans when it was a collective failure.
Absolutely agree. The difference in his physical condition now compared to his time here is quite astonishing. Has the back room staff changed with every manager? Because if it's the same guy then definitely get rid.
His whole dreaming about how it would feel to feck off from United, telling other players to man the feck up when he was the teachers pet under Mourinho. returning from the world cup looking like he ate all the other players.
Have you read this thread?
Yes, i don't think it's sufficent.
Twat. Fat. Disrespectful. Worst #9 to ever have played for United. No intention of playing his best at United. Pathetic big game record. Unprofessional. Awful footballer who can barely play, just a bully. Unable to control a football. Useless donkey. Told to feck off. Prick. Crap. Rubbish. Horrific finisher. Contributes nothing except for goals. Dire. Bitter. Unable to hold the ball. Shit.
On the last point its worth checking to see how he did against the top 6 in Italy this season.
The revisionism around this guy is absolutely amazing.
Anyone saying we miss him:
- Do Martial, Rashford and Greenwood flourish?
- Did you see Lukaku’s weight at United?
- He only scored 16 PL goals in his opening campaign and then 16 in total in his second
- His big game record is nothing short of pathetic
It is about helping the team get the wins though. Lukaku for us ended in second place. With Inter second place.
Solid conclusion there.
It's only 7 years ago as well.
He scored 27 goals in his first season. Only Ibra with 28 has scored more in a season for us since Fergie. Not saying his overall play was amazing but that's a decent return, especially during a time when we were playing some of our worst football ever.
Different league for now so maybe hard to compare. I have not followed Inter close enough. For us though under Mourinho we had a pretty decent big game record. Beat Arsenal, Pool, Spurs, Chelsea, City.
He contributed to that worst football ever. Which is what all those buzzing off him here don’t seem to recognise.
Short memory. He will always score goals but the frustration around him was not something I could deal with any more.
Lukaku look a special player when you watch highlights.
He scored a hat trick in Ferguson last game at the club, it was basically exhibition match and Uniteds back 4 that day was Valencia, Jones, Evans, Buttner and Lindegaard was in goal. Rio came off the bench due to a injury Evans and Vidic, Evra was unused subs.
He would actually be an excellent horses for courses option but as we both found out he doesn't do competition for his place.
