Inter Milan striker, Romelu Lukaku, has insisted he made the right decision to leave Manchester United last summer.
Lukaku joined United from Everton for £75million in July 2017 scoring 42 goals in his two seasons at the club, before moving to Inter in August last year.
The Belgian has been in superb form for Antonio Conte's side, scoring 18 goals to help the club sustain a challenge for the Serie A title.
Lukaku's current form and United's interest in signing a striker this month after Marcus Rashford's back injury, have raised questions as to the wisdom of allowing Lukaku to leave Old Trafford.
But, in an interview with Sky Sports News, the 26-year-old said the decision was his and it had worked out well for United as well.
"I think I had to re-find myself. Last year was difficult for me on the professional side because stuff was not going how I wanted and I was not performing as well... and I just came to the conclusion that it was time for me to change the environment.
"I made my decision around March, and I went to the manager's office (Ole Gunnar Solskjaer) and I told him it was time for me to find something else."
"I think I made the right decision and I think Manchester United now has made space for the younger players to come through so I think it was a bit of a win-win situation for both of us," Lukaku said.
