Manchester United have added torment to their stars Paul Pogba and Romelu Lukaku. This is after the two players were included in the squad for the club’s four-match 18-day pre-season tour of Australia, Singapore, and China despite their transfer decisions.
Pogba has been out of the training with the permission of the manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. The 26-year-old has been heavily linked with a move from Old Trafford this summer. Real Madrid have been actively looking for his signature with Zinedine Zidane telling Florentino Perez that the Frenchman is part of his future plans for the club.
Pogba’s agent Mino Raiola also stated on Friday that his client wants out of United this summer.
Romelu Lukaku, despite being linked with a move to Inter Milan, has also been included in the traveling squad. Even though his agent Federico Pastorello being in Italy for negotiation with the Italian bigwigs, United have cared little about that.

Summer signings Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Daniel James have also been included in the trip.
Players like the Brazilian midfielder Fred and defender Matteo Darmian were both excused from the trip for personal reasons but are reported to unite with other players later before the return to London on July 26th.
Chilean star Alexis Sanches, even without the hamstring injury he succumbed to on Saturday, wouldn’t have been involved.
The will play Perth Glory on 13 July and Leeds United on 17 July before flying to Singapore for a game against Inter Milan on 20 July. They will finish their trip with a game against Tottenham in Shanghai on 25 July.
