After suffering an ankle injury, Lukaku trained on his own on the eve of the final match of United’s tour -- last week’s 2-1 win against Tottenham in Shanghai. On Sunday, a picture appeared on the 26-year-old’s social media accounts of him and his agent Federico Pastorello, accompanied by the message “soon to be continued.”
