Manchester United 'offered' chance to sign Alvaro Morata and more transfer rumours

Manchester United have reportedly been 'offered the chance' to sign former Chelsea striker Alvaro Morata.

According to ESPN, Morata has been made available to Erik ten Hag's side who are in need of attacking reinforcements. They had recently been linked with the signing of 33-year-old Marko Arnautovic – but the Manchester Evening News revealed that the club have withdrawn their interest in the player, partly due to the backlash from the fans.

Now it appears that United have turned their attention elsewhere as they look to line up a deal for the 29-year-old striker who only has a year left on his contract at Atletico Madrid. Morata has spent the last two seasons on loan at Juventus and his most recent campaign with the Italian side saw him score 12 goals and provide nine assists in 48 games across all competitions.
