Ryan Giggs Says Romelu Lukaku 'Was Never' the Right Fit for Manchester United

Ryan Giggs has said he felt Romelu Lukaku "was never" Manchester United's type of striker after the Belgian completed an €80 million (£74 million) transfer to Inter Milan.

Lukaku, 26, left Old Trafford for the San Siro on Thursday following months of transfer speculation. Giggs told the Press Association (h/t Goal's Chris Burton) he expects Lukaku to score goals "wherever he goes" but added the forward wasn't suited to United:

"I'll be honest with you, I never felt as if he was a United centre-forward. That was my feeling.
