Steve Walsh, who helped Leicester to title glory before linking up with the Toffees, has questioned some of the transfer calls made at Old Trafford
Jose Mourinho and Manchester United were warned against a £75 million ($97m) deal for “big baby” Romelu Lukaku by Everton’s former director of football Steve Walsh, but paid no attention.
Back in the summer of 2017, the Red Devils were in the market for a proven Premier League goalscorer and set their sights on Belgium international Lukaku at Goodison Park.
Walsh, who had previously worked with then Mourinho at Chelsea, tried to tell those at Old Trafford that they were taking a big-money gamble on a player who lacked the mental strength to represent one of the world’s biggest clubs.
