Man Utd striker Lukaku stuns Belgium football chiefs

Manchester United striker Romelu Lukaku admits he's ready to quit international football in less than two years.

Lukaku only turned 25 in May so news of his planned international retirement may come as a shock to many fans.

He told Business Insider: "After the Euros, I think I'll stop."

Lukaku is Belgium's all-time leading scorer with 40 goals in 75 appearances.

"Every big tournament for us as a country has to be getting into the semi-finals, and then you go from there.

"You will go to win the whole thing, but you don't go for less than the semi-finals."
