Romelu Lukaku Talks Manchester United Exit, Inter Milan's Serie A Title Chances

Inter Milan striker Romelu Lukaku has revealed he knew for some time he would leave Manchester United in the summer.

The Belgian swapped the Premier League for Serie A in an €80 million (£74 million) move in the summer.

He told Corriere dello Sport (h/t Football-Italia): "Once I learned that [Ole Gunnar] Solsjkaer planned to put me on the wing, then I knew my time at Manchester United was over."

Solskjaer replaced Jose Mourinho as manager at Old Trafford in December.

In January, he deployed Lukaku on the right wing when United beat Arsenal 3-1 in the fourth round of the FA Cup.
