It s the biggest club in the world, Lukaku told ESPN.
It s a club that is hungry to win the league again, to be dominant in the world again and that s an opportunity that I always wanted since a child. When they came calling, I didn t have to think twice so I m really delighted to hopefully be part of their history.
Who would say no to the biggest club in the world? Best stadium in England, the best fans, I mean it s a perfect opportunity.
I always said I wanted to play for a team that s challenging, for every trophy that there is there so I think Manchester United at the minute wants to be that dominant team, that dominant force and if you look at their history, it says enough.
And to become part of a club like them is something that I really wanted and I m thankful for the opportunity that they gave me and now it s time to work hard, work harder than I ever did before and I m willing to do it and hopefully it will come a good way.
