Manchester United manager, Jose Mourinho, has apparently won
the race to sign Alvaro Morata from Real Madrid, after convincing the player
that he would be a major leader in his attack next season.
Spanish newspaper, Marca, reports that Mourinho told the
striker that United would be the perfect club for
him at this stage of his
career.
Morata looks likely to quit the Santiago Bernabeu this
summer, after failing to secure a regular first-team place under Zinedine
Zidane last season. Despite his limited playing time, he still managed to score
20 goals for the La Liga and Champions League winners.
Mourinho is now pushing for the player, who he gave his
first professional contract at Madrid.
United have already announced a deal for Victor Lindelof from
Benfica and are set to splash the cash, ahead of their return to the
Champions League next year.
