Romelu Lukaku

Incoming Manchester United striker, Romelu Lukaku, was arrested in Los Angeles last week following a noise complaint – and will appear in a US court on October 2.

Lukaku, who is set to have a medical at Manchester United before a £75m move, was given a “misdemeanour citation” after officers responded to five other noise complaints at the same location.

A Beverly Hills police statement said the 24-year-old was released at the scene following the incident on July 2.

Lukaku has been on holiday in the US.

The Belgian has been pictured on social media taking part in fitness sessions with Manchester United’s world record signing Paul Pogba.

There is no suggestion the French midfielder was with Lukaku at the scene.

Reports in the US said Lukaku held a big party that caused a series of noise complaints in the surrounding area.

Despite the police callouts it is reported the striker did not turn the volume down and was then arrested for “disturbing the peace”.

Officers said they gave out “verbal warnings”.
