Everton striker Romelu Lukaku will snub interest from Manchester United because he wants to return to Chelsea, according to Tutto Mercato Web.
The Belgium international is available on the market for £80million with the Blues and the Red Devils expected to go head to head to secure his services.
He was close to joining Chelsea last summer but eventually decided to stay with the Toffees.
Meanwhile, former Manchester United defender Phil Neville has urged his former club not to sign the 23-year-old and to focus on the signings of Gareth Bale and Antoine Griezmann.
"I would prefer United to go out and get Gareth Bale or Antoine Griezmann, I really would," he told Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast.
"I have watched Lukaku and I am a big fan, but I see him in the big games and I don't see a player that grabs and wins a big game on his own.

"I still think there are question marks against Lukaku. Jose sold him and he didn't play that much at Chelsea, so he knows him well.
"I think the ideal signing would be Harry Kane – but I don't think United will get him. But Griezmann and Bale, I think these are the players that can take United closer to winning the Premier League."
