Man Utd striker Lukaku accuses Belgians of laughing at his transfer choices

A man who moved to Old Trafford for £75 million in the summer of 2017 believes many of his fellow countrymen are looking for him to fail

Romelu Lukaku is a £75 million striker at Manchester United , but he claims a number of Belgians want him to fail and have laughed at some of his previous transfer choices.

The 25-year-old was tipped for the top upon making the breakthrough in his homeland at Anderlecht, with his goalscoring instincts showcased early on.

A switch to Chelsea in 2011 was to stunt his progress somewhat, but the decision to take in loan spells at West Brom and Everton helped to rekindle his spark and attract interest from afar.
