Mother of all battles for Lukaku

ROMELU LUKAKU has been given instructions to prevail in today’s Milan derby – by his mum.

Reports in Belgium say the Inter striker has been told by his mother Adolphine to do whatever it takes to exact revenge on Zlatan Ibrahimovic at the San Siro after the two former Manchester United team-mates fell out spectacularly.

Ibra was accused of telling Lukaku to “go and do your voodoo s**t, you little donkey” and to “go and call your mama” after the two powerhouse forwards clashed during Inter’s Coppa Italia win over bitter neighbours AC Milan last month.

The Swedish striker was shown a red card, while Lukaku was later suspended for improper conduct after inviting his rival for a fight by saying: “You want to talk about my mum? Let’s go inside.”

Today’s game has been billed as ‘the derby of all derbies’ after a huge mural painting of the spat was unveiled close to the stadium shared by both clubs.

OLE GUNNAR SOLSKJAER insists Manchester United’s owners will back him in the transfer market – as Borussia Dortmund prepare to cash in on Erling Haaland. Dortmund are ready to sell Haaland (left) to the highest bidder this summer after it emerged the 20-year-old Norwegian striker has an agreement that will allow him to leave the Bundesliga club for £65million in 2022.

United and rivals Manchester City are both looking towards Haaland in bid to bolster their firepower.

Solskjaer said: “I can’t say anything about individuals. But we’ve got the backing.

“The owners keep backing the club and myself and hopefully we can improve the team.”
