Manchester United striker Romelu Lukaku has dismissed claims he was being disrespectful towards Everton fans after his goal against the Toffees on Sunday.

The former Everton striker raised his hand to his ear after scoring United's third goal in their 4-0 win on Sunday.

He told Sky Sports: "It's another goal, really, but I'm happy with the win and staying near the top of the league.

"It's just a bit of banter, with the free-kick I missed, they booed me. It's just football."
