'Man Utd were wrong to let Lukaku go' - Young backs ex-team-mate to thrive at Chelsea

A man who played alongside the Belgian at both Old Trafford and San Siro is confident he will make a big impact after returning to Stamford Bridge

Manchester United were "wrong" to let Romelu Lukaku go in 2019 according to Ashley Young, who has backed his ex-team-mate to thrive at Chelsea after re-signing for the west London outfit.

United spent £75 million ($104m) to sign Lukaku from Everton in 2017, only to sell him to Inter after just two full seasons at Old Trafford.

The Belgium international struggled for consistency during his time with the Red Devils, but scored 64 goals in 85 appearances for the Nerazzurri while helping them win their first Serie A crown in 11 years with Young present in San Siro to witness his return to form.
