Everton striker Romelu Lukaku trained alongside Manchester United star Paul Pogba at UCLA amid mounting speculation that he is on the verge of a blockbusting move to Old Trafford.
Widespread reports on Thursday said Belgium international Lukaku was set to join United after a £75million fee was agreed between the clubs, although conflicting claims suggested the Goodison Park board were yet to sanction the sale.
The duo, who are both represented by super-agent Mino Raiola, are currently holidaying together in Los Angeles and took part in a training session at the famed sporting university.
Photos of the pair were initially posted on Pogba’s Instagram account on Thursday before being deleted.
