Belgian striker Romelu Lukaku joined Inter Milan this summer for a reported £73m, ending his tumultuous spell at Manchester United.
Speaking to the LightHarted Podcast, Lukaku expressed his frustration with the way he was treated by the club, saying: “A lot of stuff has been said where I didn’t feel protected.”
He claimed that he was left waiting for someone to come out and shut down the rumors surrounding his future at the club, but it never happened.
“I had my conversation, told them it was better to go our separate ways. If you don’t want to protect somebody, all these rumours come out. I just wanted you to say ‘Rom is going to fight for his place’, but it never happened for four, five months,” Lukaku said.
He also accused the club of leaking information about him, saying: “Who leaks it? Not me. Not my agent. I see it on my phone come out of nowhere.”
Lukaku left Manchester United having scored 42 goals in 96 matches after joining from Everton for £75m in July 2017.
