I don't think Lukaku ever had a problem with Mourinho?

Lukaku missed a penalty and Mourinho never trusted him again, preferring an ancient Drogba.

Mourinho did let Lukaku leave for Everton, which was nice of him.

But yeah as already mentioned, Mourinho didn't trust 19 year old Lukaku, preferring Drogba and Torres. That was somewhat understandable, but then in 2013-14 Mourinho preferred Ba and Torres (and Eto'o) , which is unjustifiable.

Lukaku never spoke ill of Jose as far as I know. He wasn't in Jose's plans so he let him leave with his blessing. Lukaku always mentioned they got a long afterwards.

Massive upgrade? After all this transfer is gonna be a replacement for Ibra

Griezmann, Lukaku, Morata etc are all great players and Man Utd would defo have been stronger with either of them if Ibra hadn't gotten injured and would have stayed with Man Utd, but neither of those players offer much more than Ibra did last season

I don't think he's going to single-handedly win us the league, but I'm hopeful that he'll be able to do what Van Nistelrooy did, which was to somehow know exactly where the ball was going to come and then make it go into the goal from eight yards out, and also to be a Big Unit

I'd be kind of hesitant to blame Mourinho for his transfer, even though hes clearly a massive loving oval office, because Chelsea have a history of selling good youth prospects at a decent profit.

The difference with Lukaku though was unlike Matic and De Brunye, Marin etc he was bumming teams left right and centre in the premiership on loan before they got rid.

I was talking to people today who suggested that either United or Chelsea (not sure which is funnier) should consider going for Harry Kane instead of Lukaku.

Because, you know, Spurs are so desperate to sell their best player, and Harry Kane wants to leave his boyhood club for their rivals or a team they've finished above for the last two years.

He'll be begging to leave when Chelsea and/or United pony up their petrol dollars and/or official paint sponsor dollars.

I'd say about £70m, he played in a much better side and only scored more because of teams capitulating at the end of the season.
