But now it looks as if everything is done and dusted. And everyone is waiting for Morata’s honeymoon to finish. Morata has already played under Mourinho as it was the Portuguese who handed the player his debut during his Madrid days. Since that time Madrid have chosen to sell the player off to Juventus and then buy him back after triggering a buy back clause.
But since returning from Juventus Morata has mostly played a second fiddle for Zinedine Zidane. Failing to make a permanent player in the attacking line. And now Morata is desparate to move out of Madrid and United seems to be his next destination.
If the deal eventually goes through then Morata will be the second signing for United this transfer window after the club signed Lindelof a couple of weeks back.
