Former Manchester United star Paul Parker believes that Romelu Lukaku disrespected the club.

Both Lukaku and Alexis Sanchez joined Inter Milan this summer.

Lukaku left on a permanent transfer, while Sanchez is at the Italian club on a one-year loan deal.

And Parker believes it was the correct decision, despite criticising United for not replacing either of the star attackers.

He said on the WeAreTheBusbyBoys podcast: "The problem is when you have a long term plan, you can only go as far as the people above will allow, so you have to also work with the short term in mind.

"He [Solskjaer] wanted Lukaku to go, and he would have liked a replacement, but as we know he wasn't allowed to [sign one].

"As far as Sanchez goes, if he'd kept him and not used him, or he'd have got injured, or if he'd kept him and used him and his performances continued to dip, he would have been slaughtered for not getting him out.

"I think in the long term it's still absolutely right.

"With Sanchez they've been able to get rid of a portion of the money and there was obviously an issue with Lukaku, an attitude problem and the way he conducted himself didn't help, he disrespected the badge on the shirt.

"It's the long game he looked at and in my opinion it's to the benefit of the dressing room."
