We’re sure you’ve heard by now, but just in case you haven’t – Manchester United are having a bit of trouble putting the ball in the back of the net.

Their lack of goals (and lack of strikers) is sure to see them linked with every forward under the sun as we hurtle towards the January transfer window.

Romelu Lukaku scored for the sixth consecutive Premier League game as his Everton side drew at Norwich over the weekend, and some reports are now claiming that he’s turning heads at Old Trafford.

In fact, Itasportpress, cited in the Daily Star, even go as far as to suggest that Louis van Gaal is ready to stump up the cash for him next month.

Are they interested? Probably. Will Everton sell? With a top four slot in their sights and a League Cup semi-final, almost certainly not.
