Manchester United in 'deep talks' with £61 million-rated Wayne Rooney replacement


Jose Mourinho's summer spending is beginning to gather some momentum, with Manchester United expecting the imminent £75 million arrival of Romelu Lukaku from Everton.


The Belgian would join Victor Lindelof, who arrived for £30.7 million from Benfica, in what is expected to be an expensive group of new signings as Mourinho targets a Premier League title challenge.

United may have moved on from Antoine Griezmann for now and been priced out of a move for Alvaro Morata but, overall, the Portuguese is having a good summer.

How many more of the 54-year-old's targets will make their way to Old Trafford is waiting to be seen, but the signs show that the Red Devils executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward's hard work is paying off.

Morata had been Mourinho's first choice striker target for the summer, but Real Madrid's refusal to budge from their £79 million asking price led the Portuguese to inform Woodward to switch his attentions to Lukaku.
