The former Red Devils striker thinks the Belgian received unfair criticism over the last two seasons and can see why he decided to move to Inter
Dimitar Berbatov insists he understands why Romelu Lukaku left Manchester United, suggesting that unfair criticism from the media ultimately prompted him to decide he needed to change clubs.
He told Betfair: "I was sorry to see Lukaku leave but I understand why he wanted a move. He's been unfairly criticized by the media and fans.
"We're all human beings and it's no fun to finish a match and read on social media or the in the press that you suck. You try your best in training and on the pitch but, in the end, if it isn't working out, you say: 'Ok, I'll try somewhere else.
"Lukaku only played two seasons at United. My best season at the club was my third when I won the Golden Boot in the title-winning side of 2010-11. Sadly, Lukaku won't get that chance."

To me he’s a good striker despite his size, he’s quick with the ball and also he scores unbelievable goals, I know he will do well in inter now that United have decided to let him go, let’s see who’s going to perform to expectations in his role giving to the person...
I believe you also agree with me on this..

Worse is no replacement signed. Rashford and Martial not so reliable as forwards.

he should have known that because man utd have issues with black players you can never satisfy them its in their blood
Can't blame you. You probably dun watch the games these days and your conjecture comes from the media. We bought bisaka, we would not let pogba go, we install rashford and martial as the main strikers. These boys are black and we love them. Love your team bro.dun be racist.

*'Things Manchester United will do before they can win the League.'* 1- Qualify for the UEFA Champions League. Make Top 4 a priority every season. 2- Sell the club to any potential Arab buyers. An owner who loves good Football. 3- Sack Woodward. 4- Appoint a big time seasoned Coach with credible pedigree, Fatherly love, aggressive approach and a tactical mind. E.g: Ancelotti or Pep or Poch. And they should be the ones to control the buying of players. 5- Dismiss Olé or appoint him to head the Youth department. 6- Remove this penchant for favouritism of English players, and create a free environment to allow players accept the possibility of equality and fairness. 7- Entertain more of Black players. 💪🏿 Bring in at least 3 Young players from our Youth Academy every season and feature them in games. FA Cup and Carling Cup respectively. 8- Sell Young, Rojo, Jones, Darmian, Lukaku fast as possible. And get back to buying great strikers like Van Nisterooy, Dwight Yorke, Andy Cole, Eric Cantona. Scrap this mentality of 'more left footed' players. 9- Learn to attach 'buy back clause' to any deal made that's promising. Let's learn to impose that mentality that we are one of the Richest clubs in Europe. 10- Stop working with shrewd agents like Riola and focus more on classy Mendes. Send scouts to tour South America more to look for promising talents, invest more in our Youth Academy.

bro he was not being unprofessional...ole made it clear to him that he wasnt needed at the club and he was giving approval to train with anderlect becuase even at united he wasnt allowed to train with the squad but train individual...Ole and united were so unfair to lukaku ...we seems to have forgotten that cold night at paris despite him having injuries this season and rashford being praise he still has better goal ratio than rashford ...who is regarded as a star i just dont get it
where did you get that info of ole was the one who ask him to train with Anderlect? all i know was that Lukaku was being fined because he missed and did not attend the training session with Man Utd and ole said again and again that he was still not fit and recovering from injury

TBH im very sad to see Lukaku go. BUT, the problem was that he was being unprofessional by being overweight last season and plus that how he acted unprofessionally by training with Anderlect. Im very sorry but Im 101% confident that he will be a hit at Serie A and score more than 20 goals. And furthermore, score during his debut match. Mark my words

It comes from those fans who think and believe everything should go their ways. Some can't kick a good free kick for heaven's sake. Players & Coaches had a tough time but some fans were so remorseless about the entire situation & chose to do their as usual online rants.

fans sit in the stands (and behind tv sets) every week so they just call it how they see it. what one should do is try step up coz you just might get the same reviews from a new set of fans😕
