Manchester United have rejected a 60m euro (£53.9m) bid from Inter Milan for striker Romelu Lukaku.

The bid falls well below United's valuation of the 26-year-old Belgium international, who joined them from Everton two years ago for £75m.

Lukaku sat out Saturday's pre-season victory over Inter, whose manager Antonio Conte reiterated that the striker remains his number one target.

"I consider him a player who could improve our team," the Inter boss said.

"On one side it is my hope and my will, on my other side we will see what we find with the club.

"It's not right to speak about the player in this moment because he is a Manchester United player and for this reason we must show great respect for the club and at the same time for the player and for my players."

On Friday, Conte admitted he had tried to sign Lukaku while manager at Chelsea [from 2016 to 2018]. "You know I like this player," he added.

Inter's move for the Belgian is thought to hinge on the future of Mauro Icardi, who has not travelled on the club's pre-season tour of Asia amid reports he is to leave.

When asked about the Argentina striker, Conte replied: "The club was very clear that Icardi is out of Inter's project. This is the reality."

Lukaku missed both of United's tour matches in Australia because of injury before also sitting out Saturday's match in Singapore.

"If you're a player and don't manage to train for a week and he's missed three games now I think he'll be concerned," said Solskjaer. "He's working to get back on the pitch and let's see how long that takes. It's his ankle.

"I think we have done really well without Romelu but we all know he's one of the top, top strikers in the world."

This deal is only a matter of when, not if.

Though if I was Solskjaer I'll do a swap deal. Lukaku for Mauro Icardi

Pogba is scattering the dressing room, you want to add icardi. Another known virus.

He's an exceptional player no doubt but solksjaer will lose respect of the young players.

Being a good player but having no discipline ruins teams

Luka will surely leave this summer.

But when he does, united will have no second striker.

Deadly

Is Man.U looking to make profit from Lukaku?

54 MILLION POUNDS for Lukaku rejected?!

Hope they won't sell him for 15 MILLION las las?!

In ancient time they gladiators in arena.
At present they are footballers in stadium.
All in the name of entertainment.

As we look at the people of ancient as barbaric, having fun with people fighting to death so also the future generations may see us a barbaric selling and buying humans to display on the field.

£75mil or no deal. This same Inter that gave us tough time with the Perisic deal.

Ok

Inter milan should just forget that elephant abeg

Hmmm

Martial can play as a striker

There is Mason Greenwood also

Lukaku will be a strong force and Man Utd will regret selling him. Utd will suffer for it if they decide to go on with inconsistent Rashford. I am almost certain that Conte will bring out the best in Lukaku.

He's just not suitable for ole's playing style .

Not a question of his ability as a striker.

What about Martial

we rather sell lukaku for even 30 euros to AC Milan than 54 euros to inter Milan..... stewpid inter Milan that refused selling perisic to us...... if they can't bring 75....they should swerve

Don't really like the Lukaku anyways

Solskjaer Is a mumu, he doesn’t seem ready to sell anybody until it dawns on him. Lukaku is worth way less than the 60m euro to be honest. Conte is the only one stupid enough to make that offer for him for purely sentimental reasons and they lost it.

You think you are more intelligent than the business board of both clubs?
Both Manchester United and Inter Milan agree Lukaku is worth that price but here you are, with a better opinion.
United don't even want to sell. Inter see him as the ideal replacement for Icardi. United won't accept less than £70m

personally, I don't want him to leave, Rashford and martial to strike for Manchester United for a whole season seems like a disaster in waiting. EPL is not a 7 or 9 games tournament. we need all the quality we can get to go back to the top four. why let one go without getting anyone better.
