Except that we need a left winger.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
If I was Ed Woodward, I'd send Florentino Perez a fax of my middle finger.
They are holding a firesale. What could you expect?
I disagree, RW is the bigger need imo.
Real are having a laugh. No way Morata is worth anywhere near that amount.
Please stop this stupid argument about him being a bench warmer. He's a squad player for a team that have Benzema and Ronaldo in attack ffs.
And average he is not. Average is Jesse Lingard or Phil Jones, NOT Morata.
Has this even been suggested?
I know we desperately need a striker but I just don't want any of these players maybe I'm still mourning Griezmann too much 
I like Morata, but he's not even worth 52 million, let alone 78 fecking million.
Clubs are starting to demand absolutely ridiculous money for players that aren't anything special.
It'd be better to promote players from the academy than spend 120-130 million on Perisic and Morata.
I bet Madrid would sell Morata for 50 million euros tops to a team that isn't English.

We should save our money this summer as there's no value in the market.
£78m for Morata is crazy money (and probably not true) but if the alternative's Belotti for £86m...
They are mental. It will be pointless to talk with Real while DDG is on the table. It's bound to be a dick swinging contest with them forever raising as they need more and more for Mbappe.
Move on to Auba or Lacazette.
Though I agree with your first comment somewhat, your second comment I don't. Morata is an okay player, average in terms of where he'd rank amongst other striker in the world. The likes of Lingard and Jones are well below average.
Marca had him down as a 70M euro player last Summer when his track record indicated he couldn't hit a barn door. That and DDG getting embroiled, plus the fact Real can easily spend all Summer fecking around is why I've never had an interest in this chap.
Move the feck on Woody!
We got Van Persie for 24m - 24 fecking million.
Totally agree, the football world has lost it marbles regarding prices. Morata for 78 million is stupid. Even 52 million is crazy, I would rather take a chance on youngsters we have and shop around for young players at good prices and take a chance rather than paying silly money for ready made players who may not live up to reputation and price I.e. Falco and di Maria.
So essentially we will be spending over £70m on either Morata or Belotti by the looks of things. Seriously doubt either will even return 20 goals in the season. Morata would probably be a better option than Belotti because he is more well rounded. Belotti is literally just a poacher at the present time and he's only had one season where he's managed good numbers. I have major concerns about Morata's ability to actually finish chances despite his superior ability on the ball. Both will be a major downgrade on Zlatan which is not the direction we should be going.
That'd be fun next season seeing us get knocked out of the CL and finish outside top 4 again. But hey at least we can compete with Liverpool for the net spend trophy.
It's a shame that United don't have any scouts. Only two strikers in the whole world to choose from.
I would have thought Juve. Great timing to replace Buffon in 18/19.
I don't think Lacazette is capable of playing in our system. He's not enough of a threat in the air and he can't hold up the ball well enough. I have no idea why we don't seem to be in for Aubameyang though
We will have a predetermined list of targets and Mourinho has said as much.
Valencia provides width on the right. Nobody does on the left.
We do have scouts, and we also have a manager who knows how to build a winning team. They've identified Morata as a player who would improve us.
I'd be fun for the reactions alone.
Surely not to play?Juve are signing Szczesny though!
Yeah what he didn't mention was that it'd be our transfers that'll make it look like a bargain, the twat.
Nah, bench I assume.
The same people who are throwing their toys out the pram about overpaying for players would be the first to moan about how crap we are.
Yes because we're paying 60M for VVD, 45M for a 16 year old with 1 professional game and bid 130M for a 18 year old with half a season of first team football behind him.
I held that opinion originally and Auba would be my first choice, but with some of the beefy box-to-box midfielder links and what is available I'd rather a 4-3-3 with a mobile striker who is a good finisher and has good link-up play.
If we are doing the same lop-sided defensive leftback crap then yes we absolutely need a more typical Mourinho CF.
As a poster just wrote Madrid know that there are not top strikers in the market.
The prices have been shocking this summer but understandable after Higuaín and Pogba.
The lack of value in the market doesn't change the fact that United need goals
There is absolutely nothing of note in this article. Me or you could have written it.
I die a little bit inside whenever I see £m mentioned for strikers we pursue.
As someone said, there is no point pushing for Morata while De Gea is on the table, they will look to rip us apart if possible.
Lukaku would be my pref choice, but looks like he is Chelsea bound. Think we should go all out for Lacazette
