Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has scheduled talks with Romelu Lukaku over his Manchester United future.

The pair are set to meet next week as Solksjaer plans to gauge the Belgium striker’s troubled season and his desire to remain at Old Trafford.

It is understood Lukaku has not been placed on the list of players under immediate threat as part of United’s summer overhaul.

But Solskjaer has been concerned by a run of eight games without a goal for the £75m striker, who has openly discussed the possibility of a move to Italy.

It is thought United will listen to offers for the second most expensive signing in their history – but would want to recoup the money they paid Everton in 2017.

For now, Solskjaer is planning on Lukaku being part of his squad next season – and their talks are evidence of the Norwegian’s determination to address his side’s lack of cutting edge.

As well as Lukaku’s struggles, Marcus Rashford has gone seven games without a goal, while Anthony Martial has scored just once in his last 10 games.

Solskjaer has identified that lack of fire-power as major factor behind the collapse of United’s bid for Champions League qualification.

Jadon Sancho has been targeted to add more speed and creativity to his forward line – and Benfica starlet Joao Felix is also on his radar.

Lukaku is believed to be considering his future – and there remain doubts over his suitability in Solskjaer’s system.

Antonio Conte could play a major role in the striker’s plans, with the pair sharing the same agent, Federico Pastorello.

If the former Chelsea manager takes over a leading club in Italy, such as Inter Milan, he is expected to target Lukaku, who he was desperate to lure to Stamford Bridge.
