Lukaku: Playing for Mourinho is why I signed for Manchester United ahead of Chelsea

Manchester United striker Romelu Lukaku has revealed that the dream of playing for Jose Mourinho took him to Manchester United not Chelsea. Incidentally, Lukaku was sold to Everton by then Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho, the same man he had wanted to play for.

Lukaku who decided to sign for Manchester United in the summer after two bids from Chelsea and Manchester United said: “The manager, Jose Mourinho has helped me a lot to settle quickly, so it has all been very positive,” he said. “I am now with a coach that I have wanted to play with for a long time, since I was 11 years of age. And with him we are looking to do something special.

“For me it is all about progressing and learning in my career, and all the coaches I have had have helped me with that.”
