Inter Milan<\/a> target Romelu Lukaku<\/a> has been urged to leave Old Trafford by his national team boss. Speaking to Belgian newspaper Het Laatste Nieuws<\/a>, Roberto Martinez said: “I think it is clear he [Lukaku] is ready for a new challenge.

Serie A seems to be a good choice for him, although I think he can handle any league.\u201d<\/p>\n
