Romelu Lukaku 'deliberately being left out of games'

Lukaku 'deliberately being left out of games'

Manchester United forward Romelu Lukaku is reportedly currently fit to represent the Red Devils despite suggestions that the Belgium international is struggling with an ankle injury.

Lukaku has missed United's summer matches against Perth Glory, Leeds United and Inter Milan, with head coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer claiming that the striker is not fit to take part.

However, according to The Sun, the 26-year-old is available to represent the 20-time English champions.

The report claims that both Lukaku and United have decided that it is not worth the Belgian picking up an injury which could potentially scupper a move to Inter this summer.

The former Anderlecht youngster, who will also miss out against Tottenham Hotspur on Thursday, continues to be strongly linked with a move to Antonio Conte's side.

Inter, though, are said to be struggling to match United's £75m valuation for a player who only scored 15 times at club level during the 2018-19 campaign.
