Lukaku denies reports he had fight with Pogba over Man Utd penalty
The Sun claimed the Belgian wanted to take the spot kick against Southampton
Manchester United striker Romelu Lukaku has denied fighting with Paul Pogba after his side's 3-2 win over Southampton at the weekend.
Lukaku scored twice in the win but was denied the chance to take a penalty -- when on a hat-trick -- with Pogba stepping up, only to miss.
The Sun have since claimed that the Belgian striker and the French midfielder fought in the dressing room after the match due to a dispute over who should take the penalty.
However, Lukaku has responded to The Sun's claims, branding the English newspaper liars.
"When the hate don't work they start telling lies..." Lukaku posted on social media in a not-so-cryptic post.
When the hate don’t work they start telling lies...
