Thanks, seems like he has been around for a few years...thought he was 27/8.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?

Nice stuff. Showing up some brats. Entitlement is running rife on this section.
He's the same age as Varane. Thought he was older too.
Are we actually linked with him?
Yes. Multiple sources
Would be a very good acqusition. Good physique and technique, quite quick as well. Would have him in a heartbeat.
I think he would thrive playing in PL. His stats show that his goalscoring stats has been improving. From the highlights it showed that he is more developed as a 9 than both Rashford and Martial at the moment. Probably tactically more mature too as he played for both great teams like Juve and Real and played at the highest level with and against high level players.
He doesn't start many games because he's bang average. That's my point!
Reminds me of Morientes. Elegant player.
He's actually very quick and his technique, movement and finishing remind me of young Torres.
Yes because being unable to get ahead of benzema every week equates to being bang average
Good shout that.
If we can make this happen, he would prove to be a great signing for us.
Benzema top class striker right now? Didn't realise? Morata outscored him this season.
So he outscored one of the best strikers in europe over the last 7/8 years, wholst remaining bang average? Impressive that
Benzema has just been a vital player in the last 12 months which has won La Liga and 2 CL finals... So Morata not getting in the side makes him bang average?
1.Auba
2. Morata
3. Belotti
4. Lukaku
5. Lacazette
Check out Morata's goal against Bayern in Munich last year. Pure class.
PS. Sorry, Quadrado scored, but Morata dif the heavy lifting.

Let's trust Jose, if he feels that Morata is our no. 9 then he should be. Jose got us Bailly, Zlatan and Pogba which are quality. Morata will bring quality as well. It doesn't matter if he sit on Real bench. Real bought him back from Juve for a reason. At 24, he has room to improve. Who knows if Real comes back in 4 time for him.
This is the exact kind of signing we should make. He's about to enter his prime, his goalscoring record is excellent, his hold up play is a good fit for a Mourinho lone striker role and he's gettable because he's not first choice.
24 year old Morata, 23 year old Fabinho, a starting quality LB of any age to challenge Shaw and a CB to pair with Bailly and we'll have had a fine summer, even if we still lack depth in midfield and are relying on one of Rashford, Martial or Mkhitaryan to be the man out wide (Mata or whoever of those 3 has the 2nd best season should be fine as the #2 winger).

He's technically superior to Lukaku and Belotti so I'm all for it.
More evidence that he would thrive in Maureen's counter setup. 
Absolutely would take him if we can.
Suspect he might be Mourinho's first choice of the strikers available.

Aight man, sure.
No matter how good he is, since he is not starting at Madrid, he is a Madrid reject and we should not get him. Buying him would also give Madrid more money. We are better off with a player of lesser quality who is not from Madrid.
He's young, his hold up play good, technically sound, and got pace to burn, I would take him above Lakaku/Belotti.
Completely agree.
I want him, more of a complete forward and our all round play will improve.
I can't post videos yet, but check out Morata's goal against Bayern last year. Pure class. He would well here.
You need to include the video]
Can't post videos yet
He is the embodiment of a Mourinho striker.
Yep, looks like we're really in for him.
His goal return for Madrid this year has been really good. 20 in 43.

WTF? So we should cut our nose off to spite our face. Never heard such bollocks. Are you a WUM? We should be after the best players who we can get regardless of who they play for.
Now there's a first
I think cheeky was being sarcastic.
He looks a better fit for mou system given his skillset. Only worry is madrid wanted a buy back clause inserted or he being in love to play for madrid once they are done with benzema. Hope we wont end up with another de gea situation in future if united do sign him eventually. All for it and anyday better than lukaku
He isn't one of the best players though. His record in front of goal apart from this season when he's been backup is pretty awful. He could merely be on a good run aided by being in a fantastic team. Prior to this year he was basically a Spanish welbeck.
Having said all of that Morata is a more exciting transfer to me than Lukaku at least. If his improvement in front of goal is genuine and he reproduces this next season under the pressure of being the star striker, then that'd a better striker than Lukaku would be given his all round game is much better. And he wouldn't cost 70 million either.
He will always want to play for Madrid. Doesn't mean he can't work for us. it's not like he will be dreaming about it anyway.
