‘Thank you Everton!’ Lukaku writes farewell ahead of Man United move

Romelu Lukaku has written a farewell message to Everton fans, ahead of his expected £90m move to Manchester United.

With the deal close to being finalised as a medical was undergone in Los Angeles on Sunday, the Belgian forward took to Instagram and shared a warm message to the Merseyside club fans.

“I want to say a big thank you to all the people involved at Everton. I want to thank the fans for your support throughout the four years we’ve spent together,” Lukaku wrote.

Lukaku arrived Everton in 2014 from Chelsea for £28m, during which time Jose Mourinho was managing the Blues.

And last season, the 24-year old netted 25 Premier League goals for the Toffees, which resulted to many clubs across Europe seeking his services this summer.

“You guys helped me through all my games and I can proudly say it was an honour to play in front of you,” he added.

“To the staff at the stadium and training ground, thank you for making me feel home from the first day I walked in.

“To my team-mates it was great to play with you guys. To technical staff, thank you for helping me become a better player. Working with you guys has been a pleasure and I’ll take your advice throughout the rest of my career. Thank you Everton football club.”

Lukaku will join up with the rest of the squad in USA for their pre-season tour after the dealis confirmed.
