The Frenchman has a £35.8m release clause which United are apparently ready to trigger.
Inter remain keen on Lukaku with United holding out for £75m.
Lukaku wants to secure his “dream” move to Inter and his agent, Federico Pastorello, met with the Inter representatives in Milan yesterday to discuss the move.

According to Spanish publication AS, Pogba wants to return to Juventus rather than link up with fellow Frenchman Zinedine Zidane at Real Madrid as he eyes his exit from Manchester United.
