Former Manchester United and Everton star Romelu Lukaku played a role in Amadou Onana signing for Everton a year ago.

The midfielder is now a United target, as manager Erik ten Hag seeks to bolster his midfield.

While Lukaku may not have left United on the best of terms, he played a critical role in convincing his countryman Onana to sign for Everton when they were in for him last summer.

“I know it [Everton] is a big, big club," Onana revealed, per The Mirror.

“I know about the rivalry between Everton and Liverpool and I have heard about it from Rom [Lukaku].

“He told me all about the club. The relations between Belgians and this club have been successful so why not with me?"
