United: Lukaku goes on strike?

Romelu Lukaku is still training with Anderlecht, prompting Sport Mediaset to suggest the Manchester United striker has gone on strike.

Lukaku was spotted at his former club’s training ground on Monday, before it was later clarified that he was there on his day off.

However, the 26-year-old was present once more the following morning and Het Laaste Niewus notes United are refusing to comment.

According to Mediaset, it is an attempt from the Belgian to ‘force’ the Red Devils into selling before Thursday’s transfer deadline for Premier League teams.

Juventus and Inter are both desperate to add Lukaku to their ranks, but Paulo Dybala is not keen on a move to Old Trafford in exchange, whereas the Nerazzurri have yet to come close to the €85m asking price.

However, they may have until the end of August as ESPN claims Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is considering promoting 17-year-old Mason Greenwood to the role of Marcus Rashford’s deputy.
