Manchester United: stop talking more about the racist song than goals – Lukaku urges fans

Manchester United striker, Romelu Lukaku, has released a statement via agent Mino Raiola, urging United fans to stop chanting a song celebrating the size of his manhood. The, “racist” song was heard again in the stands at the weekend during the Red Devils away 1-0 win against Southampton and the 24-year-old has urged it to stop. Now, through agent Mino Raiola, Lukaku has reiterated his desire for the song to stop. “He would like this song to stop. They are talking more about the song than about his football. That’s his and my quote,” Raiola said, as reported by The Times.

CONTE CALLS ON BAKAYOKO TO LEARN FROM 'COMPLETE PLAYER' KANTE

Antonio Conte has called on Tiemoue Bakayoko to follow the lead of compatriot N’Golo Kante, a player he believes has improved the technical aspects of his game since arriving at Chelsea. Bakayoko made his debut, after his £35 million move from Monaco, in the 2-1 away win at Tottenham as he hastily recovered from a knee injury. The 23-year-old made his second start against Leicester last weekend in another impressive display, but Conte believes his big-money addition can enhance his game as Kante has managed to do over the past year or so. “I think he's very close to being totally involved in our idea of football. I think so,” Conte told reporters at Cobham Training Centre. “He can improve a lot with the ball. We are working about this aspect. We did the same with N'Golo when he arrived here. “If you remember he was very, very good without the ball, to win the ball, to recover the ball. Now I think you can see a complete player with the ball, without the ball. Now h...
