‘Lukaku took a lot of unfair blame at Man Utd’ – Martinez pleased to see Belgian bounce back at Inter

 

A coach who worked with the powerful frontman at Everton is enjoying having a rejuvenated star available to him at international level

Romelu Lukaku “took a lot of blame” at Manchester United, says Roberto Martinez, with the Belgium boss of the opinion that a striker now starring with Inter was treated “very unfairly” at Old Trafford.

The Red Devils invested £75 million ($99m) in the powerful frontman when luring him away from Everton in 2017.

They saw Lukaku register 42 goals through 96 appearances, but he never truly convinced during his time working under Jose Mourinho and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
