Manchester United have issued a statement to confirm that Romelu Lukaku has left the club.
The Belgian striker, aged 26, has joined Inter Milan in a £74m transfer.
Around 45 minutes after Inter had announced the deal came confirmation from United, who said that Lukaku “departs for Italy with our thanks and best wishes for the future”.
The tone of United’s statement is friendly, despite Lukaku have reportedly had his last wage packet docked for missing training and instead hanging out at former club Anderlecht as he waited for a transfer to be finalised.
Lukaku did not feature for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side in any of their pre-season friendlies this summer.
