Lukaku Expalains Why He Chose Manchester United : They Are Bigger Than Chelsea
Published: July 09, 2017
Belgium international Romelu Lukaku has explained why he chose Manchester United over Premier League champions Chelsea in the summer transfer window.
The Red Devils and The Blues were the two main contenders for Lukaku's signature after he rejected a new Everton contract offer, but the striker has decided to move to Old Trafford after completing his medical on Saturday.
''I would say, 'Who would say no to the biggest club in the world?''' Lukaku told the online edition of ESPN.
''Best stadium in England. The best fans. This is the perfect opportunity. I always said I wanted to play for a team that's challenging for every trophy that there is.''
He added : "I think Manchester United at the minute wants to be the dominant team, that dominant force. If you look at their history, it says enough.
''To become part of a club like them is something that I really wanted. I'm thankful for the opportunity that they gave me. ''
Only Sergio Aguero (Manchester City) and Harry Kane (Tottenham Hotspur) have scored more Premier League goals over the past four seasons than Romelu Lukaku.
