Romelu Lukaku scored at the weekend as United got back on track against Fulham.
Later that night The Sun claimed Lukaku is unhappy at United and wants out.
The claims are spurious. They go against everything Lukaku has said publicly about Jose Mourinho and wanting to run through a brick wall for his manager.
But it can’t be denied that Lukaku’s form has been a problem this season, despite managing to score six league goals.

We expect Lukaku will stay, but it certainly doesn’t hurt to look at the options in case he makes a surprise exit.
