Jose Mourinho desperate to prove Romelu Lukaku right ahead of ... (Mirror.co.uk)

Romelu Lukaku played under Jose Mourinho at Chelsea and Manchester United, but now the pair are set to face off in a big early-season match in Serie A.

To come here and have a manager like Mourinho to coach you, to believe in you only gives you more confidence." They weren't even especially close in the end, finishing a full 10 points behind fourth-placed [Juventus](https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/juventus-fc) after turning their attention to Europe once the top four looked unlikely. Now it's time to see whether Mourinho - a Serie A champion with Inter more than a decade ago - can still compete with the best. Tammy Abraham has become the latest striker to enjoy his football under Mourinho, returning to the England fold in June after leaving Chelsea for Roma in 2021. [Manchester United](https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/manchester-united-fc), after a £75m move in 2017, there was an argument that the manager was making up for lost time. Rather, Lukaku's comments about Mourinho point to a manager who understood what was best for the player at different stages of his career. "He's a big guy, physically so strong, but there is also a kid inside who needs that love, needs that support, needs to feel important." While Tuchel has now left Stamford Bridge, Lukaku remains unlikely to return, and considering his popularity in Milan this might not be the biggest of surprises. And when he does, he'll come up against another man who has reaped the benefits of Mourinho's managerial approach. Despite impressing on his debut in a victory over Inter, meanwhile, have already lost ground after narrowly missing out on last year's Scudetto and sit a point behind the Giallorossi in seventh after losing their last three away games. "As a player, that is what you want.

Roma beat Inter 2-1 away from home after recovering from a goal down to move into the top four of Serie A. Inter thought they had opened the scoring when Lautaro Martinez slipped a pass to Edin Dzeko on the edge of the box, but VAR overruled the goal ...

Pellegrini's ball in was magnificent, but any of three Roma players could have got the decisive touch as Inter's defence disappeared. 12' GOAL CANCELLED Dzeko's goal is ruled out by VAR due to an offside in the build-up. Dzeko uses his strength to turn in the box and roll his shot into the bottom corner. As Inter poured forward late in the match, Smalling headed a certain goal clear to preserve Roma's lead. The first goal came after 30 minutes when Nicolo Barella drifted inside and rolled a pass to the unmarked Federico Dimarco. By contrast, when they sat back in the first half and invited pressure, the home side were able to play with confidence.

Roma have left Inter's Scudetto dreams in tatters with their first win over the Nerazzurri since 2017, as Paulo Dybala's volley and a Chris Smalling header.

[Chris Smalling](https://football-italia.net/player/chris-smalling/) got away from his rivals for a header at the back post.

The sight of four different players limping off - or being stretchered off - was a sobering reminder that top players this season are being asked to play far too much football.
