The Belgian has sought to clarify why he did not start a Wembley showpiece against Chelsea and shed light on his relationship with a demanding boss
Romelu Lukaku claims to have a “perfect relationship” with Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho despite the Portuguese having queried his absence from the starting line-up in the FA Cup final.
As the Red Devils prepared to face Chelsea at Wembley, much of the pre-match attention focused on the fitness of a star striker looking to line up against his former club.
Lukaku had been nursing an ankle problem heading into the game and was eventually deemed to be short of the fitness levels required to play from the off in such a crucial fixture.
