Jose Mourinho has told Inter Milan they have ‘no reason to be angry’ with Romelu Lukaku after the Belgian striker opened his account for Roma.<\/p>\n
Lukaku, who is spending the season there on loan from Chelsea, netted Roma’s sixth goal in a 7-0 thrashing of Empoli at the Stadio Olimpico.<\/p>\n
Mourinho previously worked with Lukaku at Chelsea and Manchester United, and will hope to revitalise the 30-year-old’s career after he was cast out at Stamford Bridge and had a largely unhappy reunion with Inter last season.<\/p>\n
‘He’s happy. Romelu needs to feel loved, wanted, and he understood that the team needed a player like him,’ Mourinho told DAZN after the win.<\/p>\n
‘At Inter, they have no reason to be angry – they should be happy for their former manager, who needed Romelu.’<\/p>\n

Mourinho added: ‘For me, it wasn’t important whether Lukaku scored or not but perhaps it was for him. He has always shown that he wants to make himself available.<\/p>\n
‘Then the fact he scored under the Curva made his evening perfect, but we still have to learn to play well with him, and he with us.<\/p>\n
‘We need time to work and there is little of it.’<\/p>\n
Paulo Dybala scored two of Roma’s seven goals, with Renato Sanches, Bryan Cristante and Gianluca Mancini also on target. Their third was an own goal by Alberto Grassi.<\/p>\n
It was Roma’s first Serie A win of the season after losses to Verona and AC Milan, plus a draw with Salernitana.<\/p>\n
