This Thursday morning, the two clubs announced the paying loan estimated at more than 5 million euros for the 30-year-old Belgian striker with the Giallorossi for a season without an option to buy.
The Red Devils striker will thus find José Mourinho under whose orders he played at Chelsea, shortly before his one-season loan to Everton (2013-2014) and his final transfer to the Toffees in July 2014, and at Manchester United (2017-2018).
