Manchester United’s new boy Romelu Lukaku says despite his bromance with Paul Pogba his conversation with Jose Mourinho convinced him to join the Red devils. For much of the summer it had appeared that the 24-year-old was to join Chelsea, only for United to swoop in. He said despite his closeness to Pogba, he made his own choices and Pogba was not the agent that brokered the deal.
“We were just on holiday together,” Lukaku said of the United and France midfielder, who he was away with in Los Angeles as the move was completed.
“At the end of the day I had to make my own choices.
“It was the conversation I had with the manager that really convinced me the most, the plans and how he wanted to rebuild the club and he wanted me to be part of it.
“I am grateful for the chance.”
United paid a club record of £75 million for the Belgium international.
