Manchester United’s £75million signing Romelu Lukaku arrested for hosting boozy pool party bash with fellow footballer Paul Pogba
Footballer, 24, was arrested for breaching the peace at his mansion in Los Angeles
FOOTBALL star Romelu Lukaku was arrested after hosting a wild pool party with fellow Premier League ace Paul Pogba.
The 24-year-old striker was nicked for breaching the peace after he danced with bikini-clad girls at his rented mansion in Los Angeles.
Belgian Lukaku — who looks set for a £75million move from Everton to Manchester United — had ignored five complaints by cops about the boozy bash.
Beverly Hills Police Department revealed that Lukaku was technically arrested and given a citation. But it was not a physical arrest — which would have involved handcuffs and being taken to jail.
Lukaku is due to appear in court in LA on October 2 — two days after United have a home fixture against Crystal Palace.
A police spokesman said the player received a “misdemeanour citation for excessive noise.”
He added: “The citation was issued after officers responded to five other noise complaints from the same location, which resulted in verbal warnings.”
The arrest took place last Sunday night following a barbecue and pool party.
The Sun on Sunday obtained exclusive pictures of Lukaku and United’s French midfielder Pogba, 24, posing with a female pal.
A source said: “Both players were letting their hair down and having fun.
“They were very talkative and danced quite a bit.”
Manchester United are understood to have beaten rivals Chelsea to sign Lukaku.
Pogba moved to United last August for a world record £89million.
The pair posted updates of their holiday in LA to Instagram — including pictures of them training together.

Everton and representatives for Lukaku and Pogba did not respond to requests for a comment.
Karen Shotbolt, United’s media manager, said she could not speak for Lukaku as he was not yet officially a United player.
But she confirmed: “There was a barbecue at the house Romelu was staying in. Paul was there.
“There were about 30 people there. It was finished by 8pm.”
