Romelu Lukaku Reportedly 'Torn' over Chelsea, Manchester United Transfer

Everton striker Romelu Lukaku is reportedly "torn" between signing for Manchester United or rejoining Chelsea this summer because of concerns over the work rate demanded by Blues manager Antonio Conte.

According an exclusive from The Sun's Martin Lipton, Lukaku is afraid he would not be a natural fit as first-choice under the Italian because of the defensive work and pressing he requires of his frontmen.

Lipton added he is, however, "keen on playing under [United boss Jose] Mourinho" and so is struggling to choose between the two clubs.

Further, the Belgian "believes he is more valued by United" but "desperately wants" to play in the UEFA Champions League, something Chelsea are guaranteed to play in while the Red Devils could be relying on winning the UEFA Europa League after losing to Arsenal on Sunday.
