JOSE’S COUP

United land Lukaku as striker has medical in States

The striker is set to have a medical in Los Angeles, where he is on holiday with United’s record signing Paul Pogba, who has the same agent as the 24-year- old Belgium international.

The completion of the move — sensationally revealed yesterday by Sportsmail — was being held up by Everton, who were angry that their star forward failed to turn up for pre-season training yesterday. Everton boss Ronald Koeman was said to be fuming.

Lukaku, who is set to sign a five-year contract worth more than £200,000 a week in the next 48 hours, intends to link up with Jose Mourinho and his United squad when they fly to LA on Sunday for a pre-season tour.

It is understood that Pogba has been influential in Lukaku turning his back on a return to Chelsea three years after leaving Stamford Bridge for Everton in a £28m deal.

So too has been agent Mino Raiola, who earned a staggering £40m cut from Pogba’s £89m move from Juventus a year ago, and is set to pocket another big commission from his latest client MANCHESTER UNITED believe they have agreed a stunning £75million deal for Romelu Lukaku.
