Man Utd sign Everton striker Romelu Lukaku on five-year deal

Manchester United have signed striker Romelu Lukaku from Everton for an initial £75m on a five-year contract with an option to extend for a further year.

The 24-year-old Belgian international striker will join the team in LA ahead of pre-season training.

 

“Romelu is a natural fit for Manchester United. He is a big personality and a big player,” said boss Jose Mourinho.

“It is only natural that he wants to develop his career at the biggest club.

“He will be a great addition to the group. I am really looking forward to working with him again.”

Lukaku, whose contract includes an option for a sixth year, said: “When Manchester United and Jose Mourinho come knocking at the door, it is an opportunity of a lifetime and one that I could not turn down.

“I cannot wait to run out at Old Trafford in front of 75,000 fans.”
