Inter Milan striker Lukaku: I was scapegoated at Man Utd

Inter Milan striker Romelu Lukaku felt he was "scapegoated" at Manchester United.

Lukaku left United for Inter this summer in a £75 million deal and believes he was made a scapegoat for the club's failings under Jose Mourinho.

He told ESPN: "Scapegoated. Meaning 'You are the reason'."

The striker was criticised by former United defender Gary Neville after admitted he was overweight but he insists his physical problems weren't the result of overeating.

"Normally I have a fine digestive system," Lukaku said. "I digest everything very quickly. That's how it had been my entire life.

"But what the nutritionist (at Inter) said to me was, it had stopped working. I'm good now. My body is in the zone."
