Romelu Lukaku ‘laughing’ at Man Utd for allowing Inter Milan transfer, claims Berbatov

DIMITAR BERBATOV says Romelu Lukaku is now “laughing” at Manchester United for selling him.

The ex-Old Trafford striker believes the club need to sign a centre-back and a goalscorer — after flogging Lukaku to Inter Milan for £73million  last term.

Dimitar Berbatov believes he has been proved right that it was a mistake for Man Utd to offload Romelu Lukaku

The Belgium frontman went on to hit 38 goals and already has three in two games for the Italians this term.

Berbatov, 39, said: “I said letting him go was a mistake and now he’s probably sitting at home laughing.

“I like the strikers United have but they need that goalscorer that guarantees you 30, 25, or 20 goals.”

He told BBC 5 Live’s Friday Social: “ “I think United should buy a defender, a centre back, one or two.

“Lack of concentration, positioning, tactical discipline, awareness of where the strikers are.

“Hopefully they will buy a defender before the transfer window is closing.”

Former Spurs‘ star Berbatov added: “Not long ago United was the team that was fighting for the title.

“Now it’s a success if they get to top four, which I think is not right.

“But times have changed. The teams on top now are Liverpool and City and they should measure themselves against these two teams.”
