Romelu Lukaku transfer from Manchester United to Inter: Talks underway between the two clubs | Goal.com - Wasn't Lukaku Fit For Man U?

Manchester United and Inter have begun negotiations regarding the sale of Romelu Lukaku to the Italian club.
But why?
One would ask if Lukaku was fit for Man U and i would so say 'YES'.
Some things are so obvious even when you look from afar. I wonder what is going on at Man U or what has gone on since the departure of Sir Alex. I think a Father figure coach is missing or 'time enough' for a current/new coach to get into a groove.
Hahaha Man U seem to have carried the obsession that they must find an 'actual Alex Ferguson replacement' but without the 'time lapse' given to him.
It was hard for Mourinho at Man U but i still think he would have done better given 'years' than most of the other coaches that came around after sir Alex and most definitely better than the current coach because there really aren't many coaches in the ranks of Sir Alex out there other than Mourinho and a few and same goes for Lukaku.
Apart from brute strength i do think that Lukaku can do well in Man U, if he is given time and some times, given time to regain his confidence. When your position isn't secure at a team sometimes, full confidence is never able to develop.
It isn't always about scoring for a striker. Sometimes presence around the opponents goal area and technical off-the-ball runs has similar impact to scoring. It is also not always about 'potency in front of goal' for a striker. Sometimes, his constant attempts at goal is what pressures the keeper till an eventual irregular goal slips in or an own goal.
You can't tell me that any of the teens in the front three of Man U is better than Lukaku and by no means, even technique-wise.
Lukaka does play like a man, he simply need to be fed right. Mata should have more playing chance according to me. Well, i doubt there is anyone in the Man U midfield more technically gifted than Mata when he is played in his right position. Not every player has to run 247.
Overtime, Mata would begin to link up better with Lukaku and though it is shakey to consider Sanchez, that is a grown man too.
Man U needs grown men in the mix especially at the back and upfront and the midfield needs those with the touch, not uncontrolled runners and inaccurate shooters. The young must have to grow.
Lukaka is fitting of Man U according to me and i wonder why Man U is considering trading him to Inter.
Who would play in his stead. Well, he was already on the bench and i foresaw him wanting a move because in truth those benching him at Man U aren't better.
In the near term i don't see how much Man U can do. I doubt they have the strength just yet for good buys and well, Man U needs a particular calibre of buys; 'the type of buys fit only for them' and only a coach with the calibre of Sir Alex can spot these ones.
The current coach according to my perception will bring in boys that he can handle for the most part and a team like Man U needs a core of grown men.
I am not referring to age when i say grown men; more 'to character'.
Man U overall need to look into their 'transfers' methods as they have not been doing well on the markets and for a long time now.
There is issues is beyond just 'getting the right coach'.

In as much as I would have said letting lukaku go is best because there are lots of average players currently in united that doesn't deserve to wear the jersey and one of them is Romelu, my challenge is man united does not have a replacement at sight for him which really bothers me
Yes, i wont say romelu isnt average but i would still use him over many of their frontplayers. Truth is, i dont see who man u can buy currently that will be that much of top class. almost none is available
No player, I agree and this makes me wonder why man u can't do everything possible to make him stay
Lukaku is an old fashioned centre-forward. He wants to sit on the shoulder of a central defender and have the ball played in early for him. If United don't plan to play to his strengths (and they haven't really since he arrived) then they are better off selling him. No use trying to shove a square peg into a round hole.
Lukaku is not good enough for a side that wants to challenge for a Champions League spot and/or the title. Look at his record for WBA and Everton, he scored plenty of goals against lesser opposition and very few against the top teams.
You mention Ferguson, he would never of signed Lukaku ......
hahaha understood. I know he isnt that top class but i am just talking off of the last season's Man u, i doubt he isn't than any of those players. True about Ferguson to an extent. but i still think the identity of Man u is that old school. They arent too much of the Arsenal football. They have skill but can also be direct. Don't mind me, i am looking at Man u with those old school eyes. Till date though i dont see man u as a team that can go all new school with small players and all skill. Something similar is happening with chelsea too. left to me, on the current man u team, he will not be on the bench. I will use him on there till he gels in. because the other front players on there are still very much in growth.
Hi Terry
I hope you've had a little more rest than on previous days this week.
Manchester United are my team and I'm not sure how I feel about this transfer. I think all strikers have 'dry' spells and rotation at the highest level is common these days, but Lukaku is a player who needs games and takes some time to build his fitness and form.
With Rashford and some younger talent (James and Chong), I'm wondering if this is the reason Man U are looking to see who they can trade for Lukaku whilst he is still in high demand.
His record is excellent though at every team, and I think he would be a loss.
Cheers

Bro thank you for asking really. I dont want to use the word dying. I am not a human. Anything you see is just extreme levels of push and for years now. I havent slept in years. Crash and extreme suffering and no sun. How can i explain these things. I end up following teams cos of some players and coaches. I didnt like mourinho in the past, i mean like club rivalry but i liked in man u cos of his pressure among other things and players like sanchez, mata etc Yes, i feel it will be a loss cos of the current state of the team, really no one there that can really win. i know football alot and winning and man u they really need men. Even average men at man u can win somethin one season and then flop the next. The boys there need to grow. Especially the mental aspect. As for man u, i dont really see them as that team that wants to groom boys, except say Alex was coach. right now i am sure they want to win. The likes of Rashford will need time and years of it.
This sounds rough for you. I guess you know you need a break, but there are reasons for not doing so.
Mourinho wasn't my favourite coach, for any team, but he did win trophies. It will take some time for a new team to gel, but as Ferguson showed in the past, it is possible with younger players. I'm not hopeful that it will be anytime soon though.
Hi @surpassinggoogle ,I really do not have much knowledge about this sport, but my son Dim753 is always aware when he plays, and because of his shouts of emotion, I suppose the player is excellent at what he does.
Blessings
Hell no!!! I beg to differ. Lukaku has not had the best service, that cannot be denied, but he is not fit enough for United both tactically and physically. The man has no touch. While that is not a prerequisite to being a striker it is massive in the way Solskjaer wants to play.
Technical players are a massive advantage. Look at Aguero. Lukaku is basically a passenger in the team since he cannot make any chances for himself.
On his fitness, last season he always looked out of breath and in one occasion managed to trip over the ball injuring his ankle.
Mourinho could have won the league if it wasn't for Guardiola. However, the man was only building a team that could win now, the future be damned. He was going after aged players who could only give one or two years before they were no longer good enough including going after the injury prone Bayern Munich defender, Boateng.
Solskjaer may be going after young and inexperienced youth but that is a foundation and there is a future. We won't win anything much in the next few years but I can guarantee we are building a very good team.
:) :)
Beautifully said; with hopes that Man U can let one coach stay
It's a shame to see what's happening to him. He didn't get the right services, to me. With better services, Lukaku will surely deliver. This was why Mourinho wanted to get Perisic at all cost but he couldn't. With Perisic; who is a natural winger, Lukaku will fare so well as he is good with both his head and his feet.
United lack a good management structure and they expect magic. They are focusing more on the business aspect than the benefits of the fan. I have even stopped blaming Pogba. Everything is wrong at United.
I agree. I for one would blame pogba. Man u or no man u, he needs to grow. He should know his roots and have some culture.
There is no doubt about that. He is cocky and needs to grow up a bit more. A lot of responsibility is on him and he should act like a leader everyone expects him to be.
I agree. I for one would blame pogba. Man u or no man u, he needs to grow. He should know his roots and have some culture.
Lukaku is a helluva player and I'm pretty sure he would be a great fit for any team. Regards champ!
Thank you
Thank you
Amazing men in my lifestyle, ❣️❣️❣️
I think Lukaku is a decent striker, united weren't using him to his strengths and I'm sure if he gets a role where he can be the focal point of the attack like he was at Everton his going to be banging in the goals like a mad man
Excellent review @surpassinggoogle and this transfer is also interesting to me, but you are probably right, coaches always need to treat their players better and then players will work wonders!
