Romelu Lukaku Appears to Deny Reported 'Dramatic Bust-Up' with Paul Pogba

Manchester United striker Romelu Lukaku has appeared to hit out at reports of a row between himself and team-mate Paul Pogba.

Pogba missed a late penalty in United's 3-2 win over Southampton on Saturday, having taken it despite Lukaku being on a hat-trick.

The Sun's Neil Custis and Richard Moriarty reported on Monday that Pogba taking the penalty prompted a "dramatic bust-up" between the pair that required the intervention of caretaker boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

It seems the pair have not fallen out over the incident, though, based on Lukaku's tweet:

Custis and Moriarty cited a source at the club, who said the players had a "stern conversation and Romelu was clearly not happy about what Pogba had done.
