Manchester United are desperate to bring in a old fashioned No.9 after allowing Zlatan Ibrahimovic to leave as his contract expires after a successful season at Old Trafford.
Man Utd were in for Antoine Griezmann and the transfer would have happen if Atletico Madrid were not being banned by FIFA for breaking rules. Then Morata became the priority target for Jose Mourinho.
Morata scored 20 goals in 42 matches despite spending most of the season on the Real Madrid bench behind the likes of Benzema, Isco and C.Ronaldo.
