Romelu Lukaku to Man Utd: Ed Woodward vowed to beat Chelsea to Everton star

Romelu Lukaku to Man Utd: Ed Woodward vowed to beat Chelsea to Everton star

MANCHESTER UNITED have agreed a stunning £75million fee with Everton for Romelu Lukaku.
Manchester United are determined to sign a new striker following Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s departure.

It emerged last night that Jose Mourinho’s top target was in fact Romelu Lukaku, following the frustration at move for Alvaro Morata.

Real Madrid were playing hard ball and United have now pulled out of a move for the Spain striker.

And United have ramped up their interest in Lukaku and agreed a £75m fee.

Lukaku had been expected to return to Chelsea but they have been caught cold on a deal after being quoted £100m by Everton.

Everton are still furious with Chelsea over their moves for John Stones and would prefer to deal with United – despite Mourinho instigating that move while at Chelsea.
And Lukaku wants to quit Everton so he can challenge for the Premier League and Champions League.

United are hopeful the player will sign by Sunday, when they jet out for their pre-season tour of America.




And United captain Wayne Rooney is expected to head in the opposite direction.

The United skipper left Everton in 2004 but, after struggling under Mourinho last season, a return to Goodison Park is on the cards.

Chelsea had been hopeful of signing Lukaku but the Blues will now be forced to turn their attentions to alternative targets.
And the Blues could now turn to Morata, who worked with Antonio Conte while at Juventus.

Morata is still keen to leave Madrid with Florentino Perez hopeful of signing Kylian Mbappe.

And Chelsea may look to take advantage of that by moving for the striker but Conte will be furious if another target gets away from him.
