He also shares that he did not feel that he was wanted during his stay. Additionally, the Belgium international who moved to Inter and left the red devils accuses his former team of continually making him, Paul Pogba, and Alexis Sanchez the scapegoats.

The Belgian forward left the Old Trafford in summer and joined Inter Milan. His two years stint at the Old Trafford brought him criticisms from pundits and fans of the team.
