Alvaro Morata's probable move to Manchester United from the Spanish Heavyweights Real Madrid previously looked like a case of 'when' rather than 'if'.

The Spaniard agreed to join the Manchester outfit in order to get unveiled as Ibrahimovic's replacement. As Morata was in search of a first-team football and Red Devils were in need of a proper striker, it appeared as a win-win situation for both the player and club.

But however, even when this transfer was highly expected, it collapsed as it was Chelsea who snatched an opportunity to sign the Spanish international and later Manchester United made a swoop for Everton's Romelu Lukakau.

Later on Alvaro Morata himself revealed he had received an offer from the Red Half of Manchester but also insisted, there were other clubs interested in him.

"I had various offers this summer, not only Chelsea and Manchester United but also from different leagues,"
