Everton striker Romelu Lukaku linked with move to Manchester United

Manchester United have been given hope in their pursuit of Everton striker Romelu Lukaku.

Calciomercarto claim that the Toffees have already eyed up a replacement for the Belgian, in preparation for his potential departure from Goodison Park this summer.

United have been among the teams interested in taking the 23-year-old and he could be the perfect long-term alternative to Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

And Everton appear to be set to make an offer for Palermo striker Ilija Nestorovski, which could speed up Lukaku's exit.

Everton would demand a sizable transfer fee for Lukaku.
