Romelu Lukaku admits Inter Milan 'got me out of the s***' as he was 'in a deep hole at Man United'... and insists he 'didn't want to go behind their back' over £98m Chelsea move amid fury from Italian club's fans

Romelu Lukaku has sought to appease furious Inter fans for his decision to leave Italy for Chelsea this summer, as the £97.5million man admitted the Serie A champions 'got me out of the s***' when he was at Manchester United.

Inter fans have expressed their anger with Lukaku following his return to Stamford Bridge. The Nerazzurri offered the Belgian a lifeline in 2019 following his misery at Old Trafford and supporters are upset that the 28-year-old has not repaid that faith.

Fans of the Italian giants defaced a mural of Lukaku last month with the words 'sell out traitor', with supporters still disappointed that he chose to leave despite previously maintaining that he would stick around.
