Belgian star Romelu Lukaku has now explained why he opted for a move to Old Trafford instead of Stamford Bridge
The move from Everton to Manchester United has been confirmed and it has left a bitter taste in the mouth of some Chelsea fans
Many have been wondering why he chose to sign with Jose’s side instead with his old club under Conte.
Lukaku has now answered that question:
“My mind was already set,” Lukaku told ESPN when asked about Chelsea’s interest. “I gave my word, and I don’t look back.
“I didn’t look back since, and I was already mentally preparing to be part of the team.”
Lukaku will join up with former Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho at Old Trafford – and the Belgian is keen to improve under his guidance
“I think he wants to improve me, make me a better player than I am today, which is good. I always want to improve,” Lukaku said.
“I always want to work on the good stuff, but also the bad stuff. He knows how to make players better, and make from players winners as well.
“For me, I think it’s the perfect opportunity. I’m 24. I never won a major trophy.
“But I’m eager to win something and to be part of a team that wins trophies, and I think he’s the right guy to help me in that.”
