Aitor Karanka in full praise of Alvaro Morata, says Real fans still miss Jose Mourinho

Former Middlesbrough manager Aitor Karanka has heaped praise on Alvaro Morata and claims the Real Madrid striker can “fit anywhere” amid reports linking him with a move to Manchester United.

The Spain international striker re-joined the Champions League and the La Liga winners last summer from Juventus after Real exercised their right in re-signing the player. Karim Benzema was Zinedine Zidane’s preferred striker, ahead of Morata.

Morata made 14 starts in the league and managed to score 15 goals in La Liga. A lack of playing time at Real has forced him to look for a new club.
