Look: Lukaku trains with Pogba before anticipated United move

Romelu Lukaku used his holiday with friend Paul Pogba to do some training ahead of an expected £75-million transfer to Manchester United.

The Everton striker, 24, was subject of an agreement between his current club and United that became public knowledge on Thursday, and it’s hoped that the move can be thrashed out before Jose Mourinho’s squad flies into Los Angeles on Sunday for its American tour.

At United, Lukaku would become a teammate of Pogba’s, who shares the same agent in the controversial Mino Raiola. A video of the pair training at the UCLA campus in California was posted on Pogba’s Instagram, and The Mirror’s Jake Polden speculates that Lukaku underwent his medical at the same destination on Thursday evening.

Considering Pogba’s relationship with Lukaku, the Frenchman is credited with playing a pivotal part in convincing the marksman to shift to United. Lukaku had previously been linked with a return to Chelsea, the outfit he left permanently in 2014 to seek first-team football on Merseyside.

The Belgian steadily grew into one of the most potent finishers in the Premier League with Everton, counting 25 goals in the 2016-17 campaign and 85 over the last five seasons.

United fans based in the U.S. may be scrambling for tickets for the side’s upcoming friendly encounters to catch a glimpse of Lukaku in red. The tour takes in stops across four different states to face the LA Galaxy, Real Salt Lake, Manchester City, Real Madrid, and Barcelona.
