'He wants to win for himself': Romelu Lukaku opens up on furious bust up with Zlatan Ibrahimovic during Coppa Italia clash as Inter star claims Swede star isn't a team player and that veteran's taunts made him 'angry'

Romelu Lukaku has claimed that Zlatan Ibrahimovic 'wants to win for himself' as the Inter star shared his account of his furious clash with the veteran earlier this season.

The former Manchester United team-mates came to blows at the San Siro in January's Coppa Italia quarter final as Antonio Conte's side overcame a one-goal deficit to advance to the semi-finals with a 2-1 win.

Lukaku, 27, and Ibrahimovic, 39, squared up to each other and traded insults as tensions flared. The pair received one-match bans and a combined fine of £7,000 for 'unsportsmanlike conduct' in the aftermath.
