Lazy? Slow? Eff this, I'm out' - Inter striker Lukaku hits back at critics during Man Utd spell


The Belgian has explained why he unable to reach his full potential at Old Trafford and how he has silenced his doubters at San Siro.

striker Romelu Lukaku has hit back at critics who branded him "lazy" and "slow" during his time at Man United.




United forked out £45 million ($58m) to sign Lukaku from everton in the summer of 2017, having seen him hit 87 goals in 166 appearances for the Toffees.

The Belgium international established himself as one of the most deadly forwards in the Premier League during his three-year spell at Goodison Park, and made a bright start to life at Old Trafford.

Lukaku notched 26 goals in all competitions during his debut season with Red Devils, helping them finish second in the Premier League and reach the FA CUP  final.

Rom is still there.

"If you look at me now you see a different outcome, you see the full person, you see the full potential. You see what I could have been doing in England.

"They will call me slow and I'm like, 'slow? Me, slow? I cannot keep up with the fast pace game of Man Utd?

"There were too many little things where I thought: this is not right. If you call me slow I would not score a goal like I scored the second against  Shakhta Donetskin the [Europe League] semi-final.

"If I was slow I would not have got the penalty like I did against Sevilla in the final. That's two years after.

"Are you going to say me at 27 is faster than I was at 25? That's what I'm trying to say. It's just little things. I was like, you know what? Eff this. I'm out."
