Romelu Lukaku believes he was scapegoated at Manchester United alongside teammates Paul Pogba and Alexis Sanchez.

Lukaku left United for Inter Milan in a £75m deal this summer after two seasons at Old Trafford.

The Belgian was often criticised for his performances at United and even admitted he was overweight during his spell.

But Lukaku claims he was harshly treated, as were Pogba and Sanchez, with the latter close to joining him in Milan.

"They have to find somebody. It is Pogba, it is me or it is Alexis. It's the three of us all the time. For me, I just see it in many ways," he told the LightHarted Podcast.

Lukaku also spoke out on his exit after sealing his move to Italy following months of speculation.

He added: "I think a lot of stuff has been said, where I didn't feel protected.

"A lot of rumours, 'Rom is going to go there, they don't want Rom' and nobody came out and shot it down."

United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer selected Marcus Rashford as his main striker but Lukaku has dismissed suggestions he didn't fit into his plans.

"A lot of people don't think I should be part of that system," Lukaku added.

"That's my feeling from the conversations that I have, I just know.

"For me, the thing that makes me laugh a lot is... how the hell is s*** going bad in my team, but when I play in my national team, it's good? And I'm happy."
