DONE DEAL! Manchester United agree a fee with Everton for Romelu Lukaku

Manchester United have agreed a fee with Everton for Romelu Lukaku, the Old Trafford club has announced.

The Belgian striker will now undergo a medical and, subject to personal terms, will join Jose Mourinho's squad.

The Red Devils are understood to have struck a deal worth an initial £75million with the Merseysiders.

The 24-year-old scored 25 goals in the Premier League last season for the Toffees.

A statement on United's website read: "Manchester United is delighted to announce that it has agreed a fee with Everton for the transfer of Romelu Lukaku.

"A further announcement will be made in due course."

Lukaku has also been the subject of interest from former club Chelsea. Reports on Friday night suggested the Blues had matched United's bid for the Belgian frontman, but the Premier League champions appear to have been pipped to the post. 

News that a £75m transfer had been agreed for the in-demand striker broke on Thursday morning but senior Everton sources rebuffed the claims.

Now it appears a matter of when, not if, Lukaku will swap Goodison Park for pastures new in a deal that is reported to be worth around £100m in total.

United are due to fly to California on Sunday to start their pre-season tour against the Los Angeles Galaxy the following weekend and Lukaku, who has been on holiday on the west coast of America, is staying in the United States for the time being.

Lukaku has been holidaying with United midfielder Paul Pogba and early on Friday morning the Red Devils' £89million world-record signing posted an Instagram story of the pair training together in Los Angeles.

And, following the confirmation of the news, Pogba posted a comment on his official Instagram page welcoming his close friend to Old Trafford:
