The Swedish striker said in 2019 that you shouldn’t expect good technique from the Inter Milan striker.
Ibra had made a bet to Lukaku in which he’d promise to pay him £50 for every good touch the Belgian made during their time at United.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic told La Gazetta Dello Sport in 2019: “I will say this on Romelu: don’t expect good technique from Lukaku. His best strength is sheer power. If only he’d listened to me.
“At Manchester United, we made a bet: ‘I’ll give you £50 for every decent first touch you make. He replied: ‘What do I win if I get them all right?’ I told him nothing, he would simply become a better player.
“For the record, he never accepted the bet! Perhaps he was afraid of losing? Joking aside, Lukaku has this mad hunger to prove himself to the world and I’m sure he will do well at Inter too.”
Zlatan and Lukaku were involved in a heated scuffle on Tuesday during AC Milan’s derby game against Inter Milan in which the Swede told Romelu to ‘go do voodoo s***.’ The Inter striker replied in befitting fashion by inspiring a comeback win for his side, while Ibra was sent off for being too emotional in the second half.
