Lukaku says split from Manchester United was ‘the right decision’
Romelu Lukaku believes he made the right decision to leave Manchester United and insists the move was best for both parties.
The Belgium striker joined United from Chelsea for £75million in July 2017, scoring 42 goals over his two seasons at the club before moving to Inter Milan last summer.
Lukaku has been in superb form for Antonio Conte’s side, scoring 18 goals to help the club launch a challenge for the Serie A title.
But, in an interview with Sky Sports News, the 26-year-old says the decision was his and is convinced it was best for everyone.
“I made my decision around March, and I went to the manager’s office and told him it was time for me to find something else,” Lukaku said.
“I wasn’t performing and I wasn’t playing. I think it was better for both sides to go separate ways. I think I made the right decision.
“Manchester United has made space for the younger players to come through so I think it was a win-win situation for both of us.
“I think I had to rediscover myself. Last year was difficult for me on the professional side, because stuff was not going how I wanted and I was not performing as well.
