Man Utd boss Solskjaer pleads with Lukaku to stay

Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has pleaded with Romelu Lukaku to stay with the Red Devils for one more season.

Inter Milan have been linked with a move for the striker since the transfer window opened, while Juventus and Napoli are also said to be interested in the former Everton man.

However, Solskjaer has now made one last attempt to convince Lukaku to stay put and battle for his place in the team, says the Daily Mail.

It is claimed the pair spoke before they flew out to Perth for the start of United's pre-season tour and Solskjaer hinted there will be chances for him to play regularly, despite Marcus Rashford recently signing a new deal.

The Red Devils are expected to cash in on Lukaku if they can recoup the £75million they paid Everton for him in 2017, but Solskjaer would be keen to use him if he were to stay.
