Much was expected of Romelu Lukaku after he shone for Belgium at the World Cup, but he has struggled at Manchester United this season and even lost his place in the starting XI during the final weeks of Jose Mourinho's reign at Old Trafford.

But his patchy form hasn't put off potential suitors, and Calciomercato claims Juventus are tracking Lukaku as a long-term replacement for 32-year-old Mario Mandzukic.

The Old Lady have also been linked with Paul Pogba and Anthony Martial this term, however, Mourinho's sacking has reportedly reduced the risk of United's star names pushing for moves away from Old Trafford.
