The same story claims that Morata ended his honeymoon early to hold talks with Real Madrid and indicate his desire to join the Red Devils ahead of next season.
The article states that Real Madrid are now willing to lower their asking price for Morata down to a fee of around £60m for the 24-year-old.
Morata is said to have made the decision to move to Manchester United are Jose Mourinho made it clear that he wants the Spaniard to be the Red Devils’ new number nine at Old Trafford.
