After countless rumors, drama, and bids, Lukaku is officially a step away from donning the Manchester United shirt next season, as I had previously stated in my article on @TheDailySteemIt, which you can find HERE.

The fee is supposed to be £75 million, plus £15 million in add-ons. The Belgian striker spent the last 4 seasons at Everton, where he scored 68 goals in 141 matches for the toffees. But the player is still very young, and his potential is high.

Now that Lukaku is bound to be a Red Devil, one of their legends might stop being one. As part of the deal, United is rumored to be going to waive Wayne Rooney's transfer fee, so that he can join Everton; his old home, on a free deal.

Meanwhile, Chelsea FC, who were also in the battle to bring Lukaku back, will now have to bitterly accept to see him go to a rival team. With Antonio Conte reportedly unhappy with this turn of events.

He was once rejected by him, but will Lukaku be able to live up to his fee and help Mourinho bring Manchester United back to their former glories?

After Lukaku who do you think will be United's next target? Is it Spurs' Eric Dier? Or will they go after Monaco's Fabinho? Or Maybe they'll take Chelsea's Nemanja Matic?
