And Lukaku cut a solitary figure as he drove out of Carrington on Monday afternoon.

He’s not the only player to miss out on the trip to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s old stomping ground, with Alexis Sanchez also not included.

The Belgium international, 26, has been strongly linked with an Old Trafford exit this summer.

And his absence from the latest pre-season fixture has fuelled speculation that he will be ditching England for Italy before next month’s transfer deadline.

Inter Milan were believed to be leading the race for Lukaku’s signature, but fell flat with a £54m bid earlier this month.

Antonio Conte is now targeting a move for PSG’s Edinson Cavani instead.

And that has opened the door for Juventus to explore a potential swap deal involving Lukaku and Paulo Dybala.

But with Lukaku’s agent calling the former Chelsea and Everton man one of the “top three or four forwards in the world”, there could yet be more offers coming in over the next few weeks.
