Romelu Lukaku: Manchester United star calls for more diversity in the media
Manchester United striker Romelu Lukaku has called for more diversity in the media.
The Belgian admits he has endured a tough relationship with the media throughout his time at Old Trafford.
Lukaku insists he can never do enough, despite scoring 28 goals in 60 Premier League games with the Red Devils.
“I remember my first game with Man United and we played against Real Madrid in the Super Cup, and I scored but we lost and there was a chance that I missed," Lukaku said.
“And we played the next game against West Ham and I scored two and then the game after I scored again, and I scored again, and I scored again.
“It was always yes but, yes but, yes but - I would never get my respect.
“That’s why for me I don’t talk to the media because it is always something.
“I would hear the most crazy thing, even one reporter said, ‘oh thank god the mother of Romelu Lukaku didn’t have a third child.’
“When people say education is key, I take it to the heart, I really think that more black people should be put in powerful positions in the media but also sports, because then you will understand where we come from.”
