Belgium boss Roberto Martinez urged Romelu Lukaku to leave Manchester United ahead of the new Premier League season to get his career back on track.
Lukaku fell out of favour at Old Trafford under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in the second half of the 2018-19 campaign with Marcus Rashford being preferred.
Reported Inter target Lukaku has acknowledged he would be interested in a move to Italy and hinted last week he may be on his way out of Old Trafford.
The 26-year-old scored 15 goals in 45 appearances for United in all competitions last term and Martinez stressed the importance of Belgium s leading man finding a new club.
We keep improving! Another good win for us and what a way to finish off the season!

Ferguson retired in May 2013, less than a year after bringing Van Persie to the Premier League giants from rivals Arsenal.

It took the wind out of everyone s sails. It gave us an extra push to go and win and be successful in that last season, Ferdinand told MUTV.

Two sides who have their sights set on clinching a top-four finish this season, Borussia Dortmund will host Hoffenheim on Friday night.
Starting with the hosts, managing to make an immediate return to winning ways last weekend, Borussia Dortmund know that stability is key for them this season. Picking up a hard-fought 1-0 victory away at Hertha Berlin last time out, Head Coach Edin Terzić couldn t have asked for a better response from his side. Suffering a remarkable last-gasp collapse against Werder Bremen on August 20th as they were eventually hit with a 3-2 defeat on home soil, the one-time West Ham coach is desperate to prove that was just a minor blip. However, opening the 2022/23 Bundesliga campaign with back-to-bac…
