Romelu Lukaku’s Classy Response When Asked About Manchester United’s Defeat To Sevilla

Romelu Lukaku praised Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and trio Anthony Martial, Marcus Rashford and Mason Greenwood as he insisted that he's "really happy" for Manchester United.

The 27-year-old Belgian striker spent two seasons at Old Trafford before he was shipped off to Inter Milan last summer in a stunning £74m deal.

Lukaku has been in sublime form for Antonio Conte's side this season as he has made 50 appearances across all competitions and scored 33 times.

The former United and Everton star scored twice in Inter's 5-0 demolition of Shakhtar Donetsk in the Europa League semi-final on Monday.

Speaking after the match, Lukaku was asked for his thoughts on United's 2-1 defeat to Sevilla last Sunday in the other semi-final clash.

The Belgium international believes the Red Devils tried their "hardest" against the Spanish club and tipped them to be successful in the new season.

"United tried their hardest [against Sevilla]. I think they had a really good season," Lukaku told BT Sport.

"I think Ole did a good job... [Mason] Greenwood coming through, [Anthony] Martial and [Marcus] Rashford -- I expected all of that, so I'm really happy for them.

"They look really good for next season, I have no doubt."

United took the early lead against Sevilla as Bruno Fernandes effortlessly converted from the spot-kick.

However, Suso pulled back an equaliser in the first half before Luuk de Jong sealed a sensational win for Sevilla in the second half.

Inter will now face Sevilla in the Europa League final on Friday at the RheinEnergieStadion in Cologne.
