It just wasn't going to end that smoothly was it? Following Romelu Lukaku's deadline day departure from Manchester United, many would surely have hoped that it marked the end of a drawn-out transfer saga. Instead, it may just be the beginning of bitter war between the two parties.

The Belgium international spoke about the nature of his exit this summer on NBA player Josh Hart's LightHarted podcast, and it's fair to say it certainly opened up a can of worms.

The 26-year-old suggested the Red Devils essentially pushed him out the door and didn't "protect" him from the rumours that he could be on his way out of the club.

Indeed, Lukaku admitted that he was being made out as a scapegoat at Old Trafford, and revealed both Paul Pogba and Alexis Sanchez face similar troubles.

After hearing the Belgian's damning comments, United fans took to Twitter to share their thoughts on the revelations.

Many supporters of the Manchester side slammed Lukaku for appearing to deflect the blame from his poor performances, and insisted he should simply "pipe down".

Indeed, some fans even suggested the 26-year-old's inability to understand the pressure of playing for a big club like United showed he doesn't have the right "mentality" to play for a side that are always in the spotlight.

Check out some of the reaction of United fans below:
