EVERTON have accepted a £75m (AU$128m) bid from Manchester United for Romelu Lukaku, Sky sources understand.

Belgium international Lukaku had been linked with a move back to Chelsea this summer but it appears the 24-year-old will instead become a high-profile Jose Mourinho signing.

Mourinho had been looking for a replacement for Zlatan Ibrahimovic and talks had been held with Real Madrid over a possible deal for Alvaro Morata.

But Sky Sports News HQ understands their interest in bringing Morata to Old Trafford has now come to an end.

Romelu Lukaku could be on his way to Manchester United.

Lukaku, who scored 25 Premier League goals last season, is expected to have a medical later this week with the hope that he can join United for their tour of the United States next week.

United return to training on Saturday before flying off to Los Angeles on Sunday.

Sky sources also understand the Lukaku deal is not linked to one which could see Wayne Rooney head in the opposite direction, moving back to Goodison Park and rejoining a club he left back in 2004 as a teenager.

Negotiations are continuing between the clubs and Rooney’s representatives over his return to Merseyside.
