Manchester United are 66/1 to re-sign Romelu Lukaku with former forward Dwight Yorke saying he could still play for club
Former Manchester United striker Dwight Yorke told OLBG earlier this week that Romelu Lukaku is still good enough to play" for Manchester United despite leaving the club 4 years ago.
Lukaku's spell at United was deemed unsuccessful with 28 Premier League goals scored in his 66 games at the club but Red Devils legend Yorke says that the club should look at a loan deal.
"I think Man United or Tottenham should take Lukaku on a short-term loan deal and agree to pay a certain amount of his wages," Yorke told OLBG.
Bookmakers don't think that a deal for Lukaku to return to Old Trafford will happen though with his odds as big as 66/1 for him to sign for United once again.
| Romelu Lukaku Next Club | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Tottenham | 11/8 | 42.1% |
| Juventus | 2/1 | 33.3% |
| Any Saudi Pro League Club | 4/1 | 20.0% |
| Stay at Chelsea | 9/2 | 18.2% |
| Man Utd | 66/1 | 1.5% |
What the expert says...
Tottenham have been linked with a move for the player and are 11/8 to sign him

The latest odds say that there's a 42% chance of Spurs signing the forward this summer and the short move across London could be there best possible outcome for Lukaku.

Our full interview with Dwight Yorke spoke further about Romelu Lukaku as well as many other subjects around Manchester United and other transfers.
Around Lukaku's future Yorke went in more detail saying:
"As much as people say about Lukaku, he has a very impressive goalscoring record and he doesn't get as much credit as he deserves. If you have a fired-up Lukaku who wants to play for you, he's a match-winner and a handful for any opponent in the world. Man United have invested heavily in Rasmus Hojlund, but if you want to compete with the best then Lukaku is that player who can score 15 to 20 goals in a season, which is priceless and hard to find in today's game. Lukaku is still only 30 years old and a proven goalscorer, I think whoever gets him on a short loan deal will have done good and subtle business."
