Man Utd news: 'I don't think so' - Romelu Lukaku HUMILIATED after Juventus transfer claim
MANCHESTER UNITED star Romelu Lukaku is not good enough to play for Juventus, claims Sky Sports pundit Alan McInally.
Lukaku hit the headlines during the international break earlier this month when asked if he would be open to playing in Italy during his career.
The Belgium striker also talked up Juventus, who are in United’s Champions League group this season.
When asked if he would be open to a move to Serie A, Lukaku said: "Why not? I hope so.”
And on Juventus, he added: "They (Juventus) have a big project and they never stop.
Really? Juventus will be like ‘what?’. I don’t think so somehow
"Each year, they look to get better. Without doubt they are one of the two or three best sides. They've got a great coach on the bench and extraordinary players all over the field.
"Cristiano (Ronaldo) is their best player, but look out for the others: (Paulo) Dybala is already really good and he's getting better, while I love Douglas Costa.”
Lukaku is currently on a run of eight games without a goal for United.
And McInally has mocked the 25-year-old, claiming Juventus would not want to sign him.
“I think Jose (Mourinho) is very, very frustrated with the players, he’s brought in and when he sees some players, like Lukaku who’s going through a real poor time at the moment say ‘yeah I can play for Juventus’,” McInally said.
“Really? Juventus will be like ‘what?’.
"I don’t think so somehow.”
Manchester United are currently 10th in the Premier League table heading into today’s home match against Everton.
And McInally says the answer to their problems is simple - the players are not good enough.
“I think there’s too many flaws in Manchester United,” the Scot added.
“I genuinely think the United fans are still going to games thinking ‘we can be this good, because these players are surely good because they’re playing for Manchester United’.
“But the reality is, 60 per cent of these players are not good enough to play for Manchester United.
“That’s why the results are very, very up and down.”
