Alvaro Morata 'is a genuine possibility for Manchester United'... as boss Erik ten Hag tries to solve striker problem crisis at Old Trafford with £30m Atletico Madrid forward

Atletico Madrid striker Alvaro Morata is reportedly being considered as a genuine striker option for Manchester United.

The Red Devils are desperately trying to sign a new attacker following the exits of Edinson Cavani and Jesse Lingard and the potential exit of Cristiano Ronaldo and Anthony Martial.

The Portuguese superstar is believed to have submitted a transfer request in order to force a move away from Old Trafford, despite new manager Erik ten Hag suggesting that the former Real Madrid and Juventus superstar is still in his plans.

Martial spent the second half of last season on loan at Sevilla and is still being linked with a permanent exit from the club, even after an impressive pre-season.
