Agent Federico Pastorello hints that Romelu Lukaku will consider leaving Manchester United at the end of the season, with a move to Italy a possibility.

Romelu Lukaku's agent Federico Pastorello has revealed that the Manchester United striker has not ruled out joining a new club ahead of next season.

The Belgium international has netted 42 goals in 90 appearances for the Red Devils since joining from Everton in an initial £75m deal.

United's decision to replace Jose Mourinho with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in December has had a negative effect on Lukaku, though, as Marcus Rashford has instead often been used through the middle.

Lukaku still has three years left to run on his deal but rival clubs are rumoured to be circling, and Pastorello says that his client's future is "very open" ahead of the summer transfer window.

"At the moment he is very focused on finishing the season," he told Sky Sports News. "The competition for third and fourth place in England is very tight so let's see what will happen in the future at the end the season. It's his second season here and he will still have three years on his contract until the end. Let's see. He's someone who loves to know a different culture, a different football.

"He sees a way to have a career playing in different countries because he would like to win some trophies and prove himself and say to his children 'I won there and I won there and I won there' and 'I was a very good player in all the top championships', so let's see.

"The future is really very open but, at the moment, we don't discuss about that because really the season is in a big moment.

"He likes Italy. When he was a child he followed a lot the Italian league. Everybody agrees today the Premier League is the best but years ago Italy was the best and they were the dreams for the younger footballer players. Teams like Real Madrid and Barcelona of course attract any champion so he sees also in La Liga one day. Bundesliga for sure is a very good championship."

Lukaku has fired blanks in his last two appearances for United, following a run of six goals in three games before picking up an injury.
