Romelu Lukaku accused of taking aim at Anthony Martial following Man Utd exit

Romelu Lukaku has been accused of taking aim at former Manchester United teammate Anthony Martial.

Lukaku left Old Trafford for Inter Milan this summer in a £75m deal, after two years with the club.

United have looked strong in his absence, hitting Chelsea for four before picking up a draw at Wolves on Monday night.

Martial has scored in both of those matches, striking an impressive partnership with Marcus Rashford.

Footage has emerged on social media of Lukaku seemingly taking part in a podcast, where he discusses the success of the France squad that won the 2018 World Cup.

"I was in Miami, there was some players who didn't even make the cut for the World Cup," Lukaku said.

"They were fronting with the trophy. I'm like what the f***, you didn't even play."

The clip was shared by Twitter account Touchline Fracas, who suggested Lukaku was firing shots at Martial.

The United star didn't make the France squad for the tournament and is yet to make an international appearance since then.

It is unclear if Lukaku was referencing his former teammate, whose wife gave birth to their son Swan in July 2018.

Inter Milan begin their Serie A campaign against Lecce on Monday night, although it is unclear if Lukaku will be involved as he bids to shift some weight following his big-money move.
