'I Hope it Happens': Manchester United Striker Romelu Lukaku Talks Up Future Move to Juventus

Romelu Lukaku has raised eyebrows by suggesting he would like to move to Juventus, as he praised the current scudetto holders and Manchester United's Champions League opponents while on international duty.

The 25-year-old Belgian, who cost United £75m in the summer of 2017, has been one of several Old Trafford stars to face criticism over his performances in recent weeks, with some reports claiming he is among the players frustrated with under-fire manager Jose Mourinho.

Lukaku has still scored four times in 10 outings for United this season, but his last strike at club level came against Watford on September 15, as Mourinho's side have laboured in the Premier League.
