Man Utd confirm agreement with Everton for Romelu Lukaku in a tweet


Manchester United have confirmed they have reached an agreement for with Everton to sign Romelu Lukaku in a blockbuster deal.

Lukaku, 24, will reunite with former Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho at Old Trafford for a reported £75 million fee.

United were reportedly close to signing Real Madrid forward Alvaro Morata to help fill the void left by last season's top goalscorer Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who did not have his contract renewed following a serious knee injury suffered in April.

But Mourinho and United have turned to Belgium international Lukaku – hijacking Chelsea's plans – to try to fix their scoring woes, having only found the back of the net on 54 occasions in the Premier League last term – the lowest tally among the top seven teams.

United confirmed they have reached a deal for Lukaku, who must still agree personal terms and pass a medical.
