With Romelu Lukaku seemingly Inter Milan bound, Manchester United need to start thinking about replacements for the giant Belgian striker.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Lukaku is no stranger to this kind of transfer speculation \u2013 his time with Everton was littered with rumours of a move to Man Utd and it seemed like every time he went on international duty, his name and quotes were in the news.<\/p>\n

The Red Devils are now on the receiving end of that treatment, with Lukaku telling reporters in April of his “dream” to play in Italy.<\/p>\n

“Playing in Serie A is a dream, it would really be a dream,” he told Sky Italia<\/a>. “I hope to be able to play there sooner rather than later, even if at the moment I am focused on United.”<\/p>\n

Inter have made an ‘official approach’<\/a> for him, and so, attention now turns to who could potentially fill the void left by the \u00a375m striker?<\/p>\n

Reports in Spain<\/a> suggest that man could be Sevilla’s Wissam Ben Yedder, even going as far to say United have “agreed personal terms” with the France international, who is thought to have a relatively modest \u00a335.9m<\/a> release clause.<\/p>\n

Standing at 5 ft 7 in, it’s fair to say Ben Yedder wouldn’t offer the same aerial or physical threat as Lukaku, but his lightning pace plays perfectly into the gameplan of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.<\/p>\n
