Morata to United: Spanish Striker Nears Old Trafford SwitchMorata to United: Spanish Striker Nears Old Trafford Switch Manchester United are on the brink of sealing a deal to sign Spanish striker Álvaro Morata from Real Madrid. The 24-year-old has been heavily linked with a move to Old Trafford all summer, and it now appears that a transfer is imminent. According to multiple reports, Morata has agreed to personal terms with United and has undergone a medical examination. The Red Devils are expected to pay a fee of around £60 million for the former Chelsea and Juventus forward. Morata’s arrival would be a significant boost to United’s attacking options. The Spaniard is a prolific goalscorer who has netted over 100 goals in his career. He is also a versatile forward who can play both as a center forward and a wide attacker. The signing of Morata would be a major coup for United manager José Mourinho. The Portuguese boss has been desperate to add a top-class striker to his squad this summer, and Morata fits the bill perfectly. Morata has been a regular member of the Real Madrid squad since joining the club in 2014. However, he has been unable to establish himself as a first-team regular under Zinedine Zidane. The Spanish international is keen to play more regularly, and he believes that United can provide him with the platform to do so. Morata is also attracted by the prospect of playing in the Premier League. If Morata does sign for United, he will become the club’s second major signing of the summer after Fred. The Red Devils have also been linked with moves for Toby Alderweireld, Sergej Milinković-Savić, and Gareth Bale. Morata is set to become the latest in a long line of successful Spanish players to join United. In recent times, Juan Mata, David de Gea, and Ander Herrera have all starred at Old Trafford. Morata’s move to United is expected to be announced in the coming days. The Spanish striker is expected to make his debut for the Red Devils in the Premier League opener against Leicester City on August 10th.
