Inter helped Lukaku lose half a stone in 12 days after Man Utd missed problem

Romelu Lukaku has turned into the striker Manchester United thought they had signed - and the one they desperately need now. The Belgium international has lost the bulk and the brawn, but none of the goalscoring ability that lay dormant at United. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); He is the fastest player to reach 20 goals for Inter Milan, needing just 29 matches. For comparison, the Brazilian Ronaldo needed 31 games, Hernan Crespo 36 and Christian Vieri 38 to reach the same mark. In 32 matches for club and country this campaign he has scored 24 goals and laid seven assists, winning 70 per cent of the games he has played. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); And it's all been achieved by shedding more than half a stone in onl...

Jack Grealish gives go-ahead for Man Utd transfer move

Premier League

Jack Grealish is ready to join Manchester United - with the outline of a deal already approved by the player - but formal transfer talks between the two teams have not taken place. The 24-year-old stayed out of the transfer picture in the January window - as Villa seek to avoid relegation back to the Championship - but he is expected to move on at the end of the campaign.

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Rui Patricio denied Bruno Fernandes with a pair of routine saves and Dalot missed the target with a late header as United dropped more points in the League. Though Fernandes earned praise from Ole Solskjaer for his performance, Gary Neville compared the new signing to United flop Juan Sebastian Veron after a ‘difficult’ opening game.
