Man United makes important offer for Real Madrid striker

Alvaro Morata’s agent says Manchester United have made a very important offer for the Real Madrid striker.

The agent, Juanma Lopez, told Calciomercato of United that the Red Devils have been heavily linked with the 24-year-old Spanish international.

He revealed that free-spending AC Milan have also shown an interest in the former Juventus hitman but says Madrid have rejected an "unsatisfactory" offer from the Italian side.

"I can say that there's a very important offer and the decision now rests with Real.

"I cannot tell (if an agreement is close), we'll see."

Sky News reported last Tuesday night that United had seen a £52.4m offer rejected by the Champions League and La Liga winners, with Real thought to want in the region of £78m for the forward.
