Inter Milan chief Piero Ausilio is taking a closer look at Manchester United striker Romelu Lukaku.

The Daily Star says Lukaku was watched by Ausilio in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final.

Lukaku has endured a frustrating second season at Old Trafford, failing to nail down a starting spot under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

He was, however, included in the team for this month's showdown with Barcelona, which ended 1-0 to the visitors thanks to a deflected Luis Suarez header.

Inter took the opportunity to make a check on Lukaku, with replacing wantaway Mauro Icardi top of their agenda.
