Why Lukaku is gutted by Manchester United’s boss Mourinhp

Belgium international, Romelu Lukaku has revealed that he was angry after Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho benched him for two consecutive games against Everton and Manchester City.

The striker played a total of 58 minutes across the two games, while he was also a substitute against Young Boys in the Champions League on Tuesday.

Asked how he felt when he was dropped, he told Bleacher Report: “I was like, oh wow, sh*t happened, but I really had a conversation with the coach about it and I said ‘listen, it’s been a long year and also with the World Cup, I felt a bit tired’. He saw it. He made his decision.

“He said I didn’t look happy. That I was angry. And I said ‘yeah, hell yeah I’m angry. Like, do you think I should smile?’

“And then we had that little chat and then after that chat we just moved on. It was like 10 minutes, and from then on like you know it opened something in myself, like a new fire to go and get what’s mine.”
