Manchester United will reportedly offer up captain Wayne Rooney to Everton in a player-plus-cash deal for Romelu Lukaku this summer.
Lukaku, 24, is expected to leave Goodison Park ahead of next season amid interest from a host of clubs including United and Chelsea, as well as his own recently-stated desire to 'win trophies'.
United had originally hoped to sign Antoine Griezmann from Atletico Madrid this summer but the La Liga side's transfer ban, combined with the loss of Zlatan Ibrahimovic to a serious knee injury, has forced manager Jose Mourinho to rethink his transfer plans.
According to The Express, Lukaku, who scored 25 Premier League goals for the Toffees last term, is now Mourinho's top target and he is prepared to let veteran skipper Rooney leave as part of the deal.
Rooney is expected to depart Old Trafford after falling down the pecking order in recent seasons and has previously stated that Everton - his boyhood club - is the only other Premier League side he would entertain playing for.
Mourinho sold Lukaku to Everton for £28m when he was Chelsea manager in 2014 but he has since rocketed in value, with his agent Mino Raiola recently claiming that the Belgian is now worth £100m.
