Manchester United striker Romelu Lukaku is set to leave the club this summer after becoming disillusioned with life under boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

According to reports, Lukaku has become frustrated with Solskjaer's treatment of him and is now favouring a move to Inter Milan, who are leading the chase for the former Everton forward.

Inter Milan are trying to find ways to fund a £75m move for Lukaku, who has become disillusioned with life at Old Trafford under Solskjaer.

It is believed that Lukaku's mood was not lifted when England's Marcus Rashford was handed a bumper new £300,000-a-week deal last month, further highlighting the fact Lukaku has fallen behind the academy graduate in the pecking order.

Despite Solskjaer's attempts to persuade Lukaku to stay, the 26-year-old is now eager to leave Manchester United and join Inter Milan, where he has previously stated his desire to play one day.

Inter Milan's new boss Antonio Conte has also made Lukaku feel welcome, a contrast to how the 26-year-old has felt under Solskjaer over the past six months at Old Trafford.
