‘Sometimes you just get bored’ – Martinez happy after Lukaku’s Man Utd exit

Belgium boss Roberto Martinez says that Romelu Lukaku needed to leave Manchester United because he had grown bored at Old Trafford.

Lukaku departed the Red Devils in a deal worth €80 million (£74m/$90m), joining up at Serie A side Inter, where he made an immediate mark for Antonio Conte’s side as he scored the third goal in a crushing 4-0 win over Lecce to kick off their league campaign on Monday.

Martinez was delighted to see the 26-year-old leave for pastures new and believes that it will do him good.
