Why Lukaku will leave Old Trafford this January

It has been speculated that Belgium international Romelu Lukaku would be on his way out of the Old Trafford any time soon as he has failed to make any mark this season, especially under former manager Jose Mourinho.

The former Everton forward has not been fantastic so far this season without any cutting edge and his inability to deliver goals for Manchester United has been an issue for the new manager.

This has led to speculations that he could be on his way out of the club with former United ace Derek Brazil claiming that the Belgium international does not suit the style of play under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

Derek Brazil claimed that Romelu Lukaku is under pressure at the Old Trafford which he might not be able to handle especially now that it has become glaring that Marcus Rashford has emerged as the favourite in the team.

However, developments in coming weeks are expected to give a direction to the situation at the Old Trafford especially if a new manager is secured as he will be the one to make the call on which player he wishes to have or not.

Meanwhile, United are alleged to have approached Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino with the hope of convincing him to join the club in the summer.
