Club legend Ryan Giggs says that Manchester United have made the right decision to cash in on forward Romelu Lukaku.

Ryan Giggs has claimed that Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has made the right decision to sell Romelu Lukaku.

United confirmed on Thursday that the Belgium international had been allowed to join Inter Milan, reportedly for a fee in the region of £73m.

Solskjaer failed to bring in a like-for-like replacement for Lukaku, although that is something which does not concern Giggs.

The ex-winger is quoted by the London Evening Standard as saying: "With Lukaku with the way Ole has looked to play, with Anthony Martial up front, with Marcus Rashford and Mason Greenwood, he has probably looked at it and gone 'Maybe I am not going to get a lot of games out of him.'

"He is not the sort of player who can come in and out. He is either a player who starts and plays all the games, and he will score goals, but he is not a player to come in and out. I think Ole has looked at that and probably Lukaku has looked at that."

Lukaku contributed 42 goals in all competitions during his two seasons at Old Trafford.
