José Mourinho has personally persuaded Morata to move to Man Utd

Alvaro Morata’s Manchester United move is almost a done deal. According to several reports the Spaniard is close to joining the Red Devils for € 70 million although Spanish paper Marca reports the Champions League winners have demanded € 90 million for the former Juve star.

Marca, however, also reports that an agreement between the two clubs could be reached in the next few days adding that José Mourinho has played a vital role in convincing the Spaniard to move to the Old Trafford.

The Spanish paper reports José Mourinho has personally talked to Morata convincing him to swap Real Madrid with Manchester United.

​Mourinho has reportedly told Morata: “Come to Manchester United, you are going to be an important player here.”

Morata, in fact, was not a regular starter for Real Madrid in the 2016/17 campaign and the 24-year-old has already announced that he wants to be a regular starter next season as he does not want to miss the 2018 World Cup with Spain.
