The Old Trafford club also disclosed that they will make a further announcement in due course in a deal which is believed to be in the region of £75million for the forward, who was also wanted by reigning champions Chelsea.
According to a report by Sportsmail Conte was unwilling to give up on his main target, though Chelsea refused to pay what is thought to be an eight-figure fee, believed to be £12m, to Lukaku’s agent Mino Raiola, which is a key part of the United package.
