Romelu Lukaku has denied holding an excessively loud party in Beverly Hills as he was on the verge of a £75million transfer from Everton to Manchester United.
The 24-year-old striker was arrested over an excessive noise complaint after allegedly receiving five verbal warnings from police over a five-day period.
The Belgium international did not appear in court in Los Angeles on Monday but his lawyer, Robert Humphreys, entered a plea of not guilty on his behalf.
United completed his signing eight days after his arrest by Beverly Hills Police Department officers at around 8pm on July 2 in his temporary residence in the city.
