Juventus consider swoop for unsettled Manchester United star Romelu Lukaku

The £75million Belgian has not taken Old Trafford by storm since arriving from Everton last year.

And Calciomercato are reporting that Juve believe the 25-year-old could be a long-term replacement for Mario Mandzukic.

Lukaku missed Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's first game in charge after taking compassionate leave.

The hitman is unlikely to return before the end of the month and could miss United's busy festive schedule.

Solskjaer got off to a flier against Cardiff as his side scored five times in a resounding victory.

Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford were both on the scoresheet and could be ahead of Lukaku in the Norwegian's plans when he returns.

United take on Huddersfield on Boxing Day before Bournemouth travel to Old Trafford on December 30.

The Red Devils begin 2019 with a trip to Newcastle on January 2 before hosting Reading in the FA Cup three days later.
