Romelu Lukaku might have missed the first game of pre-season due to a slight niggle, but his future at United is far from sorted. The Belgian is wanted by Inter Milan, but the Serie A side are yet to make an offer for the player. The Sporting Director of Inter, Piero Ausilio, met with United officials on Friday in London, however, the two clubs are yet to come to an agreement regarding the transfer fee involved.

Inter had proposed a 2-year loan deal with an option to buy at the end of the tenure, however, United are only interested in a permanent deal. The Telegraph reports that the Red Devils will demand at least £90m for the Belgian.

United are under no obligations to sell their star striker, despite the fact that he has dropped down the pecking order under Solskjaer. As such, the Premier League giants are determined not to let Lukaku leave the club for cheap.
