The pictures of Romelu Lukaku sat on the bench at the Singapore National Stadium watching his teammates train was as easy a one-liner as you’re going to get, a tap-in of a joke that even the Belgian striker couldn’t have missed during his 581-minute goal drought to end last season.
It’s that fear of spending most of next season getting used to that view of the action that is behind Lukaku’s desire to leave Manchester United this summer. In an ideal world Lukaku would arrive with United for friendly in Singapore and then leave with the Inter Milan squad, a deal done to allow him to work alongside the “best manager in the world” in Antonio Conte.
But that is not going to happen. With less than three weeks to go until the end of the transfer window Lukaku remains a United player and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer doesn’t expect that to change.
