Have Man Utd fans been calling Roberto Martinez at 3 in the morning?
According to reports from Belgium, the Diables Rouges Coach - and former Everton gaffer- has been receiving late-night calls begging him to keep the Man United hitman from playing in tomorrow night’s 2018 World Cup qualifier with Cyprus.
The Belgian moved to Old Trafford this summer for a massive 82.2 million, and it is believed - though not confirmed - that Mancunian fans are trying to stop their man from aggravating an injury.
Lukaku was reported to have picked up an ankle nick as he missed Belgium’s spectacular 4-2 win over Bosnia, but has since been declared fit.
Having scored seven goals in as many Premier League games for the Red Devils since joining from Goodison Park, he is arguably more important to Man United’s cause, especially since Belgium are already assured of qualification to next summer’s tournament.
