MATT BARLOW: Romelu Lukaku's £97.5m Chelsea return has not worked out on any level and his muted FA Cup final display proved it... he wants to do his own talking but his displays have largely been silent this season

Romelu Lukaku let it be known on the eve of the FA Cup final that he wanted to do his own talking.

It was a rebuke for his agent, Federico Pastorello, who had given an interview in the Italian media, in which he said there was 'clearly a problem' and that there would be talks with Chelsea's new owners at the end of the season amid interest from both teams in Milan.

Lukaku took to social media to put the record straight.

It was a day to forget for Lukaku who struggled in Chelsea's FA Cup final defeat to Liverpool

'Never ever will I let someone speak for me,' he said.
