Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has revealed Romelu Lukaku will not play in Saturday's friendly against Inter Milan in Singapore.

The Belgium striker, who has been linked with a big-money move to Inter this summer, will not be involved in the International Champions Cup clash between the sides.

Asked if Lukaku would play, Solskjaer told a press conference: "No, he's not fit, so he won't be available."

Pressed on the speculation surrounding the frontman, Solskjaer added: "I don't have any updates from the last time I spoke to you."

Lukaku also missed Wednesday's 4-0 win over Leeds, as did keeper David de Gea and full-back Luke Shaw, and both could feature against the Serie A side.

Solskjaer said: "I think both will be available. Luke did a decent training session yesterday before we left, and David trained today, so we'll try to get 60 or longer out of him. It shouldn't be too difficult - he's a keeper."

Defender Matteo Darmian and midfielder Fred have both joined up with the squad, and they will be assessed.
