Manchester United's pre-season tour to Norway has gotten off to a dramatic start, with two of the team's biggest stars, Romelu Lukaku and Alexis Sanchez, missing out on the trip.

According to reports, the duo did not travel with the rest of the squad to Oslo, sparking speculation about their futures at the club.

It has been a tumultuous summer for both players, with Lukaku reportedly hoping to seal a deal to join either Inter Milan or Juventus, while Sanchez is still nursing a hamstring injury he suffered at the Copa America tournament earlier in the month.

Despite the uncertainty surrounding their futures, Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has confirmed that Sanchez will be fit in time for the Premier League opener against Chelsea.

Meanwhile, Paul Pogba has been included in the squad, and it appears that he is likely to stay at the club despite being heavily linked to Real Madrid.
