Man Utd loanee Alexis Sanchez was one who separated Lukaku from Inter Milan team-mate during dressing room bust-up
ALEXIS SANCHEZ stepped in to separate Romelu Lukaku from Inter Milan team-mate Marcelo Brozovic during their dressing room bust-up.
Lukaku, 26, was involved in a furious row with his new Croatian colleague following the tame 1-1 draw with Slavia Prague in the Champions League.
Now the Daily Mail have revealed it was Sanchez, Lukaku's close friend from their United days, who intervened.
According to the reports, Inter Milan goalkeeper Samir Handanovic grabbed Brozovic while Sanchez got in front of Lukaku.
It's just the latest show of closeness between the two Old Trafford rejects.
Sanchez revealed Lukaku encouraged him to join him at Inter Milan and even burst in on an interview the Belgian was giving to say hello and hug his pal.
Lukaku, meanwhile, was criticised over his weight when he arrived in Italy on completion of his £73million move.
The Belgian international was then subjected to vile racist abuse as he prepared to take a penalty against Cagliari.
An Italian commentator has been fired after making a racist remark about Lukaku - suggesting a player should give the striker "ten bananas" to distract him.
