Jose Mourinho\u00a0has taken aim at Inter Milan fans for their treatment of Roma striker Romelu Lukaku.<\/p>\n
The Portuguese’s side head to the San Siro this Sunday as they take on Inter in an extremely important match.<\/p>\n
One player to look out for in particular will be Belgium’s Romelu Lukaku who joined Roma on a season-long loan from Chelsea after doing the same at Inter last season.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Asked whether the former Everton striker will be playing, Mourinho said: ‘Lukaku will play. It’s a very difficult, important match, he is important for us, especially without [Paulo] Dybala and [Lorenzo] Pellegrini. Lukaku must play.’<\/p>\n
However, touching upon whether Inter fans will be hostile towards Romelu, he added: ‘I didn’t know he was so important in Milan, because what he did, winning the Scudetto, two cups, 200 players in Inter have won a super cup.<\/p>\n

Roma manager Jose Mourinho has taken a dig at Inter Milan fans for their treatment of Lukaku<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Belgian striker has scored five goals in seven Serie A games for Roma so far this season<\/p>\n
‘Afterwards it is interesting to understand why if Lukaku goes from Inter to Roma to help his coach it is a drama, while in the past [Fabio] Cannavaro went from Inter to Juve without problems. [Christian] Vieri no problem, Romelu at Roma is a surprise because I didn’t think he would be in the hearts of the Inter fans.’<\/p>\n
The former Chelsea and Tottenham\u00a0coach was sent off on the weekend in stoppage time for mocking Monza’s bench.<\/p>\n
Moments after Stephan El Shaarawy scored a late winner for Roma, Mourinho turned to the opposition bench and taunted them with gestures suggesting they talk too much and cry too much.<\/p>\n
He was swiftly shown a straight red card and he will now miss their match against his former club Milan.<\/p>\n
Mourinho has also alluded to how he is unsure whether he will stay at Roma for the 2024-2025 season.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He said: ‘There is Anti-Mourinhism too. Especially in Rome, you can find both sides.<\/p>\n
‘Anti-Mourinhism is followed by people who are happy when Roma don’t win and when Roma have no European success.’<\/p>\n
