Lukaku was Everton’s top scorer last season and the club wanted to keep him but he refused a new contract offer earlier this year and made clear his desire to play for a Champions League club.

The Belgium international striker has been pictured on holiday with Manchester United star Paul Pogba via the Frenchman’s Instagram feed, and the pair are both represented by agent Mino Raiola.

The medical will take place in Los Angeles and Lukaku is expected to join up with the Manchester United squad when they fly to America for their pre-season tour at the weekend.

Lukaku will be reunited with Jose Mourinho, who sold him while manager at Chelsea.

The Blues had been expected to sign him back but it appears it is Manchester United who will win the race for the prolific striker’s signature.
