Romelu Lukaku has gotten off to a very positive start at Inter, becoming one of the focal points of the nerazzurri. The team is also enjoying success as they go into the Christmas break in first place in the standings. Lukaku spoke to the New York times about his time at Manchester United, saying: “It was always, ‘Yes, but …’ right from the start, I scored against Real Madrid in the European Super Cup but missed a chance. It was: ‘But he missed that one.’ I scored against West Ham in my first Premier League game: ‘Yes, but. …’ From then on, I started to wonder how it was going to go. One year at United erased eight years prior to that."
One of his close friends was Paul Pogba, he had this to say about the French midfielder when he left for Inter: "I told him I was done. I had the feeling that me and Pogba were blamed for Manchester United's fall. It was from March that I wanted to start from scratch. It took me two to three weeks to learn Italian, but now nobody speaks to me in English anymore."
Advice from CR7? "He told me this is the hardest defensive league in the world. He'd score goals everywhere, but this was the toughest place to do it. And if Cristiano thinks it's difficult then it must really be difficult."
