Manchester United striker Romelu Lukaku has urged Thierry Henry to immediately jump back into coaching.

After just three months in charge, Henry was sacked and replaced at AS Monaco by Leonardo Jardim.

And Lukaku has sent the Frenchman a message to make a return to the Belgium national team.

"It's a pity that he lost his job at Monaco," Lukaku told Le Figaro. "But now I hope that he will return to the national team.

"Honestly, I really want this. We need him in the national team."
