Reports claim the Real Madrid and Spain forward will sign a five-year deal at Old Trafford on Monday after a £64.1m transfer fee was agreed between the two clubs. Morata, 24, returned to the Bernabeu last summer after they exercised a buy-back clause from Juventus, for around £23m. The 6ft 3in striker wants to move on again, however, for first-team football after failing to nail down a spot under Zinedine Zidane last term, despite netting 20 goals and assisting 6 in 43 appearances. United turned their attentions to Morata after missing out on Antoine Griezmann and he is expected to become Jose Mourinho’s first summer signing after agreeing personal terms ‘very quickly’.
