'Romelu is a different player - he was a rough diamond': Lukaku has taken his game to the next level after leaving Manchester United for Inter Milan, says boss Antonio Conte

A season at Inter Milan has made Romelu Lukaku a 'different player' to the one that left Manchester United in 2019, according to manager Antonio Conte.

The striker scored 15 goals in his final season at Old Trafford but was deemed surplus to requirements as United could only finish sixth in the Premier League. He was subsequently sold to Inter for £73million on deadline day and has not looked back since.

Lukaku scored 41 goals in 57 games since arriving at the San Siro including 34 in his first campaign.
