Inter Milan striker Romelu Lukaku says he never felt accepted at Manchester United.

Lukaku believes he and former teammate Paul Pogba were made scapegoats for United's problems.

He told the New York Times: “I took him [Pogba] aside and told him I was done with Manchester United. There was a feeling that Pogba and I were guilty of the fall of Manchester United.

“From the beginning it was a 'Yes, but...'. I scored in the European Super Cup and they said, 'Yes, but he got another one wrong'.

“When I first started out in the Premier League, I scored against West Ham and they said, 'Yeah, but...'. Since then I imagined how it would feel to leave the club. One year at United erases the previous eight."
