Romelu Lukaku says he knew his Manchester United career was over when Ole Gunnar Solskjaer moved him to the wing.
The Belgium international moved to Inter in the summer, joining the Italian giants in a deal worth £74m.
And Lukaku has revealed that he realised he had no future at United after he was redeployed on the flank early on in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s tenure.
"Once I learned that Solskjaer planned to put me on the wing, then I knew my time at Manchester United was over,” he told Corriere dello Sport.
“I don't mind being the most expensive player in Inter's history, nor replacing Icardi, who gave a lot here in Milan.
“When I arrived, Mauro was very nice and kind to me. I wish him all the best at Paris-Saint Germain and hope he wins there. We are two different forwards.
“It would be nice to be Capocannoniere [Serie A’s top goalscorer], but I am not the type of player who says I want this or that individual title. I think of the team first. My biggest motivation is helping the team, and to help the team score goals.
“So far everything has been fine, but I want to do better by working to the maximum every day in training. Now I'm at 100% but I don't stop. I want to show Inter that they decided well in signing me.”
