“Please leave” – Manchester United star slammed over transfer comments, with ideal replacement talked up by these fans

Some Manchester United fans have not reacted well to Romelu Lukaku’s comments relating to a potential future transfer to Serie A.

The Belgium international’s words come as he’s going through a real dry spell at Old Trafford, having made a slow start to the new season.

Lukaku started well with United last season, netting 27 goals in 51 games in all competitions, though he has just four in eleven matches at the start of this campaign.

That player is Inter Milan hot-shot Mauro Icardi, who has shown himself to be one of the top centre-forwards in Europe in recent times.

The Argentina international was recently linked as an option for United up front, with Ole Magazine, as reported by AS claiming Jose Mourinho was keen on him.

‘Juve have a great project in place and they just keep going. Every year they try to get stronger.

‘Without doubt, Juve are one of the two or three best teams in Europe. They’ve got a great coach and extraordinary players in every area of the team.’

Well, Romelu, here’s what United fans think of that…
