Lukaku has apparently turned up for training at his first club Anderlecht. Why? No one knows for sure.
----------
The MEN understands United players had Monday off ahead of their Sunday Premier League opener at home to Chelsea and Belgium international Lukaku travelled to his boyhood club to train with Anderlecht's youngsters.
Lukaku is believed to have trained separately from the United first-team squad at their Carrington training complex since he regained fitness from an apparent ankle injury last week. United are relaxed about Lukaku's decision to travel to Anderlecht, where Lukaku's friend Vincent Kompany is now their manager.

Fair play to him
Seems unwanted by the club so is training away from us. The report says United are relaxed about it and it’s probably easier for him out of the way for us and him.
Not an issue at all

He wants to be first choice and won't stick around to play second fiddle or put up a fight for it. He's made, more openly than Pogba, comments about wanting to leave. Good finisher but not a great player. If he was better in other aspects of his game, he'd be first choice.

Poor bloke ,feel sorry for him
He hasn't been that bad to be ostracised like that

To be fair to him, he has not behaved poorly and except he has done something behind the scenes, he has been treated poorly.

Romelu Lukaku sent a text to the coach of Anderlecht’s U18 if he could train with them on Monday. The U18s had the time of their life - he coached / encouraged them. At the end of the session he took a striker to the side for finishing exercises.

Top bloke , Maybe he could coach the youth team if we can't sell him

So United are currently paying him around £200k a week to coach the Anderlecht youth team?
