Solskjaer hints Lukaku could've played Man Utd friendly

Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has hinted Romelu Lukaku could've played Perth Glory on Saturday.

Lukaku has been heavily tipped for a move to Inter Milan this summer, with delegates from the Serie A giants having been in Manchester last week to discuss a potential deal.

The Belgium striker was left out of the United side for Saturday's 2-0 over Perth Glory.

And Solskjaer was asked after the game about Lukaku.

Asked whether the 26-year-old would be fit for Wednesday's game against Leeds United, Solskjaer said: "Yes, he should be fit for Wednesday. He trained yesterday, but it wasn't useful to risk him today to be fair."

Asked if Lukaku would be a United player for the season kickoff, the manager added: "Let's see when the season starts."

However, he did add that United had not received any offers for Lukaku that met their valuation, saying: "We've not had any bids that we're considering."
