Ashley Young - Manchester United Should Not Have Sold Lukaku

Ashley Young believes Manchester United made a mistake selling Romelu Lukaku.

The latter has been scoring goals regularly since making his switch to Inter Milan and deciding to play for Antonio Conte.

At Old Trafford, he was struggling under Ole Solskjaer and it was pretty evident from his performances. Young wanted his old outfit to persevere with the Belgian forward and keep him on for longer.

“I said it at the time, I couldn’t understand the decision (to sell Lukaku). Whether it was made quickly or not, Romelu has proved a lot of people wrong,” the former winger claimed.

“He’s worked unbelievably hard. There was talk that he was overweight and couldn’t do this or that. He’s smashed records and made history in Italy, he’s been unbelievable for the club.

“For me he was fantastic even in the Premier League, to go out there and face another challenge, I think it was the right choice for him. He deserves all the plaudits he is getting,” Young concluded.

Lukaku’s 61 goals in 92 appearances for The Nerazzurri has helped them win the Serie A title after ten long years. Young has also been heavily involved with 57 appearances during that period and 4 goals to his name.
