Pushed further on whether a move to Inter appealed to him, Lukaku simply smiled.

Lukaku, 26, joined United from Everton in 2017 and was a regular starter under Jose Mourinho. However, he lost his place to Marcus Rashford when Ole Gunnar Solskjaer came in.

Lukaku has scored 42 goals in 96 appearances for United and played in both the 2017 UEFA Super Cup and 2018 FA Cup final, while helped United to a second place finish in his debut season with the club.
