United: as a deal for Morata stalls, here is his potential alternative...

It is not a secret that Manchester United like Alvaro Morata a lot as they agreed personnal terms with him some time ago. The problem? Real Madrid keep asking for a hefty price-tag which is stalling a potential deal. 

Mourinho's club have identified Alexandre Lacazette as an ideal alternative to Morata if a deal is to fail for the Spanish international. According to L'Equipe (Via the Sun),  Manchester United are one of the teams that are interested in getting 50 million sterling pounds rated Lacazette. Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal, Borussia Dortmund are other clubs who are in the mix for the French striker. 

Lacazette was considering a move to Atletico Madrid but since they were handed a 6 month transfer ban, he now has to find another option. The Lyon president did confirm that Arsenal made a nice offer for Lacazette but even so, Lyon seemingly want more for him. 

As previously said, Morata remains to be the top target for United but they have started to work on other fronts too just in case...
