Man Utd legend Neville slams 'unprofessional' Lukaku

Manchester United legend Gary Neville has blasted Romelu Lukaku as he leaves for Inter Milan.

Lukaku has wanted to quit Old Trafford all summer and finally appears to have sorted a move away with a transfer to Inter Milan now imminent.

The 26-year-old refused to return to Carrington in an attempt to push through a transfer in recent days. He even returned to pre-season training overweight earlier this summer and Neville insists his exit could be good for the club.

In replying to a tweet from Andy Mitten, the editor of fanzine United We Stand, the Sky Sports pundit tweeted on Thursday morning: "Andy he admitted he was overweight ! He is over 100kg! He's a Manchester United player! He will score goals and do well at Inter Milan but unprofessionalism is contagious".

Neville accompanied his scathing verdict of Lukaku's character with a sickness emoji and a hand waving.
