Real Madrid striker Alvaro Morata returns from honeymoon to speed up move to Manchester United

Real Madrid striker Alvaro Morata has taken a break from his honeymoon and has returned to the Spanish capital in an attempt to speed up his long-awaited move to Manchester United, the AS report.

The 24-year-old is reportedly inching closer to complete his switch to England, although Manchester United and Real Madrid are yet to reach an agreement for the forward’s transfer fee.

Despite being handed just 14 La Liga starts last season, Morata managed to score 15 goals and provide four assists and is looking to leave the Bernabeu for the second time in three years in pursuit of regular first team action.
