Ed Woodward's transfer window pain

Romelu Lukaku finally won his one-man battle to extricate himself from Old Trafford, Manchester United only losing £2m (€2.2m) on a player for whom they paid £75m two years ago, even if he left with a rebuke from Gary Neville ringing in his ears.

“He admitted he was overweight,” tweeted the former United star. “He is over 100kg! He is a Manchester United player. He will score goals and do well at Inter Milan but unprofessionalism is contagious.”
