Former Manchester United striker, Dimitar Berbatov, has said criticism of Romelu Lukaku is unfair and hopes the player stays at Old Trafford.
Lukaku joined United from Everton in a £75million deal in 2017, scoring 28 goals in 66 Premier League games.
However, last season, he lost his place to Marcus Rashford.
The Belgian has been linked heavily with a move to Inter Milan this summer.
But Berbatov, who played under Alex Ferguson for four years at United, would prefer to see Lukaku remain at the club.
“I think he should stay. I like him, I don’t agree with all the criticism he’s getting — yes he has some areas which he need to work like every other player.
“But his teammates need to help him as well.
“For example if I’m a midfield player and I play with him, I will know how to pass him the ball, when to pass him the ball, on which foot to pass him the ball. This is what your teammates need to know, how to play with you.
“I think Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is a good coach for him because if Lukaku wants to ask the coach something, he can go and ask him, because Solskajer was a good striker.
“So if you need striker’s advice, you go to the coach,” Berbatov told Sky Sports.
