Madrid has decided and we have not come to an agreement. It is simple. It's a shame."It is a player who made it to the first team with me. We have a special liking for [him], he is someone special. I enjoyed watching his evolution in Juventus and Madrid. It is like that. I don't think he can end with us."Lukaku made his debut for United against Galaxy, playing the second half of the comfortable win.</blockquote>
