‘Manchester United Could Have Bought Lukaku For £150Million’- Mourinho



Manchester United manager, Jose Mourinho, has claimed that Romelu Lukaku would have cost Manchester United £150million, had he not rushed through a deal before Neymar’s record-breaking move to Paris Saint-Germain.
United paid Everton £75m for Lukaku in early July, weeks before PSG smashed the world transfer record with £198m for Neymar.
Mourinho also brought in Nemanja Matic for £40m from Chelsea and Benfica’s Victor Lindelof for £30.7m, as United got their business done early this summer.
“I think we were very clever,” Mourinho said in an exclusive interview with The Times.
“We thought that something could happen that could change the market forever. After Neymar everything changed — and for the worse in terms of prices.
“I think Lukaku on August 31 would have been £150 million. Matic would have been £60m or £70m. Neymar changed everything. If the biggest transfer in history had still been (Paul) Pogba, I think Philippe Coutinho would now be in Barcelona at £101million.
“Lukaku and Matic, now, would have cost us £200 million in total. But because we did it in the first part of the summer, it was much less.”

The Queen Of The Dark” Insists She Will Never Bleach Her Skin For Whatsoever Amount (Photos)

Image
A stunning Sudanese model who became a fashion icon after moving to the US from a refugee camp has detailed the cruel bullying she faced growing up, at the hand of classmates who thought her skin was ‘too black’, according to Dailymail. The woman identified as Nyakim Gatwech, based in Minnesota, further revealed in March this year that an Uber driver had once asked her whether she would bleach her skin if she were given $10,000 (N3,600,000) in exchange and she said NO. Gatwech, 24, has become a vocal advocate for self-acceptance, who often speaks out against discrimination based on skin color. Before Gatwech moved to the US aged 14, she lived in two different refugee camps in Ethiopia and Kenya, after her family had to flee war-torn Sudan. ‘My mother fled before I was even born, because there was a war. Soldiers would come and shoot the whole village, machine gun everybody down,’ she told Cosmopolitan in a new interview. ‘She had to make her way with her children on foot to ...
