Man United closing in on Romelu Lukaku deal

Manchester United believe they are edging closer to a deal to sign striker Romelu Lukaku from Everton.

However, the significant progress they thought they had made was knocked back by the Merseysiders who countered claims a £75m (€85.1m) fee had been agreed by insisting no deal has been struck.

And that has left Chelsea, who appeared front-runners in the race to re-sign their former player, with an opening to still make a late intervention.
