I've no information on whether we are close to sign Morata or not.
I feel, from what I understand, that he is definitely Mourinho's choice.
And I have to admit, I've only seen him play a sprinkling amount of times. A good few times for Juve, when they looked awesome with him leading the line and only a couple of times for Real. He's clearly a talent.
But here's the thing...he's a Madrid boy. If he comes to United and has an impressive couple of years, which is obviously what we all want, he will always have that hook back home...Every summer it will be 'Madrid want Morata back'. I know we've just about hung on to De Gea, but I feel Morata will always want to go back to the club he's always dreamt about playing for. He doesn't scream 'future United great' to me at all. Certainly not in the long-term.
