Romelu Lukaku has said he believes Jose Mourinho would have had more success as manager of Manchester United if he had been given the signings he wanted.

Mourinho was appointed Louis van Gaal's successor in the summer of 2016.

In his opening season at Old Trafford, he won three pieces of silverware: the Community Shield, the EFL Cup and the UEFA Europa League.

Lukaku joined from Everton for £75 million in July 2017, but United did not win any more trophies before Mourinho was sacked in December 2018.

The Belgian striker has since joined Inter Milan, where he has flourished in 2019-20, netting 14 goals in 20 Serie A appearances.
