While Jose Mourinho has defended his summer signing against the critics, Scholes has weighed in on the negative feeling towards the player by slamming him over the incident with Bong.
‘Lukaku knows he has done well there and knows he’s lucky not to get any action against him,’ BT Sport pundit Scholes is quoted in the Daily Mirror.
‘It’s reckless and stupid and probably deserves to be sent off.’
Scholes is not one to mince his words and the pressure will certainly be on Lukaku to improve on his recent displays if he is to win over both the club’s fans and vocal group of former players who set extremely high standards at Manchester United.
