Romelu Lukaku Sharp with Inter Milan, Manchester United Wince

  DBasia.news –  Inter Milan immediately topped the Serie A standings after a landslide 4-0 win over Lecce in week one which took place at the Giusseppe Meazza on Tuesday (27/8) early morning Western Indonesian Time. Romelu Lukaku scored for his new club and was a reminder for his former club, Manchester United.

Lukaku, 26, went to Inter from Man United this summer with an official tag of 80 million euros to be paid over five years. Lukaku’s presence is very desirable by Antonio Conte, Inter Milan coach.

“Don’t forget Lukaku was bought for 65 million euros and paid for five years, so when people talk about big spending, it’s not that big. Tonight, Lukaku shows why we struggled to recruit him,” Conte said after the match against Lecce.

Lukaku’s arrival ensured Inter did not lack players on the front lines, besides Lukaku the club still had Lautaro Martinez and Mauro Icardi. Viewing the article on Standard Sports, the opposite condition was felt by Manchester United.

The club nicknamed the Red Devils did not replace Lukaku with other attackers. As a result, the club now only has Marcus Rashford, Anthony Martial, Mason Greenwood and Alexis Sanchez up front. The last name was even rumored following Lukaku to Inter.

At first Man United seemed fine when they won 4-0 over Chelsea in the Premier League. Until now also Martial and Rashford have scored two goals. But, United’s performance began to be inconsistent from the last two games.

Draw 1-1 against Wolverhampton Wanderers, Man United lost by surprise through a 1-2 score at Crystal Palace at Old Trafford – the first victory in Palace’s history over United. Worse yet, Martial was injured when fighting Palace.

Martial injury plus Sanchez transfer rumors further worsen the situation of Man United’s front-line. Sad, a team like United, but lacking stock in a crucial position.

Lukaku’s goal for Inter could make fans miss the sharp and goal-hungry striker, who can be counted on as a ‘meal’ for opportunities when there is the slightest chance. Was that United’s transfer blunder? It could be yes or no, everything can be seen in the team’s journey this season.

Currently, still the beginning of the season, Man United have not been faced with a busy schedule in Europe (Europa League) and England. The depth of their squad was not good enough and the loss of Lukaku, without finding a replacement, could be fatal with the difficulty of the team scoring goals.
