The Red Devils are eager to add a new striker to their ranks for the new season.

Atletico Madrid have reportedly offered Alvaro Morata to Manchester United.

The Red Devils saw a move for Bologna’s Marko Arnautovic fall through amid huge backlash from fans. However, they haven’t stopped their attempts to bring a new striker to Old Trafford.

According to Mirror, Morata has emerged as United’s new target amid the Red Devils’ attacking problems.

The English outlet claims Atletico Madrid’s financial problems have convinced them to sell Morata this summer.

Despite Luis Suarez’s exit, the Rojiblancos are still well-equipped in their forward line, with the likes of Joao Felix, Antoine Griezmann and Matheus Cunha competing for a place in Diego Simeone’s lineup.

On the other hand, Man Utd are desperate to add fresh blood to their attacking unit. Edinson Cavani’s departure and Mason Greenwood’s legal issues have already limited Erik ten Hag’s choices upfront.

Meanwhile, Cristiano Ronaldo has maintained his interest in leaving the club before the transfer window deadline. Following their failed attempts to sign Darwin Nunez, Benjamin Sesko, and Antony, Man Utd have remained keen to add a new forward to their ranks.

A 2-1 defeat against Brighton last weekend exposed Man Utd’s attacking problems. Let’s see if Ten Hag will have Morata at his disposal before his side’s next Premier League match against Brentford on Saturday.
