I wish it were true. Don't want Chelsea getting Morata, as I don't doubt he'd do well for them, and with Conte most importantly.
Also, would mean Perez stuck with an unhappy player and no big fees coming in to fund his dream signing.

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.

A dick move because United ain't gonna get shafted by them feckers?? No way! He'll need to take it up with them for being the dicks. I'm glad United stood their ground though it would have been great to get him. At least we're sending a message to those clowns. We may still get him.
Not in the slightest... If anything, Real are to blame for slapping such an unrealistic price for the player. They wanted to skin us and (sadly for Morata and hopefully not us) we moved on.
It would be somewhat similar to call Everton d*cks if they don't sign Rooney because we want 50+ million for him...
If he gets stuck, we can take him on a season long loan
Seriously feel bad for the lad
This is why a player should never show his hand and stay silent until a transfer has been sorted.
That seems likely now.
So Lukaku is having his medical in LA right now and could be signed in a few hours.
He was one of my top targets this summer tbh as a back up striker. This was mainly because I didn't think we would be playing with a target man, as our big money addition would be a Griezmann or Mbappé or so. I wanted Llorente to give us that option.
Signing Lukaku would negate that, but he's a good player.
Article doesn't really mention a medical lined up. Still says that CFC are still in for Lukaku
Is the medical meant to be happening now, or when we go to LA on tour?
Now whichever one of us signs whichever player we can have endless debates every time one scores or messes up!!!!
Neil "the oracle" Custis has spoken, done dealio.
He's not the most reliable source out there, but most of the journos think it's done.
Oh well, so am I then, it is what it is.
Sorry for your loss.
Some of these reporters must be reading the Caf. We said this some hours ago.
Really ? I don't get the negativity, both my heart and head say this is a good deal, (apart from the fee)
This article echoes what PdB said earlier about us responding to a rip off from Raiola earlier this week to sign Lukaku.
Done dealio? Even though I'm still not sure If his word is good, he's never had a good reputation for United transfers has he in the past? (Discarding his Rooney to Everton sources)
Is he pretty reliable? Never really heard of him.
Morata fan?
He's got a lot right about us down the years, people just hate to admit it due to who he is, and who he works for.
I can imagine the deal will definitely be done by Sunday, as that's when we're flying out. Be nice if we could wrap up another signing (Nainggolan, Perisic, etc) before we go.
I actually don't remember him at all getting stuff right about us
but every credible journalist seems to think it's done so we have to take their word for it Yep, basically this.
This is not speculation. He's actually confirming an actual event. Must have some reliable source to be so certain.
Not particularly, I'd have prefered him but I wasn't massively hyped for him or Griezmann, but they'd have been much better buys than this, still there's always the Bundesliga and La Liga to watch.
Do feel for Morata. I know that people think otherwise, but united are one of the biggest clubs ever and the chance to be the main number 9 for a number of years is a big chance for any player. Maybe he could have done more to get the move going and the price dropped - hopefully a lesson learned for Perisic !!
Tough shit really. He could have done more to force the move. If he/agent had of went to Perez and said I really want United, then I'm sure better progress could have been made. He missed the boat and United can't sit still waiting while Lukaku is available.
Likely now, I'd assume. LA has more than adequate medical facilities, assuming you can pay for them.
