Man Utd ‘find Lukaku replacement’ as Solskjaer considers Immobile transfer bid

, Man Utd ‘find Lukaku replacement’ as Solskjaer considers Immobile transfer bid

MANCHESTER UNITED may have finally found areplacement for Romelu Lukaku in Lazio striker Ciro Immobile.

Lukaku left for Inter Milan in a £76.5million deal last summer and at the time boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer decided not to invest in a player to take his spot at Old Trafford.

But now the Norwegian is reportedly considering an approach for Italian forward Immobile, according to Calciomercato.

Reports in Italy suggest the player would be open to the move and is complimented by the interest from United.

Lazio are likely to be reluctant to let go of the prolific 30-year-old.

Immobile’s stunning return of 27 goals in just 26 league games has helped the Italian side climb to second in the table, one point behind reigning champions Juventus.

Simone Inzaghi’s side restart their campaign with a trip to Atalanta on Wednesday before a return to Rome’s Stadio Olimpico on June 27 to host Fiorentina.

In the absence of Lukaku, Solskjaer utilised Frenchman Anthony Martial in his preferred position as a central striker.

But the 24-year-old blew hot and cold through the middle and the club bolstered their ranks with the addition of former Watford ace Odion Ighalo on loan in January.

Ighalo joined from Chinese outfit Shanghai Shenhua and it appeared he would have to leave before the end of the delayed Premier League season as his original deal expired on May 30.

However, the Red Devils brokered a last-minute deal to keep the Nigerian at the club for a further six months until January 2021.

Despite earning plenty of plaudits for his form since arriving back in England, it appears Ighalo’s long-term future still remains a lucrative return to China but he has vowed to take United “higher and higher” in his time remaining in Manchester.
