So, at long last, we know that Erik ten Hag will remain as Manchester United manager. Finally, the Red Devils can start planning for a crucial transfer window.

It will be the first under new ownership, as INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe prepare to splash the cash.

However, unlike previous governments, they will not lavishly spend their money. Before that can happen, United will most likely have to sell a few players.

As a result, they may be unable to sign Everton’s Jarrad Branthwaite. An offer has already been made for his services, but it falls far short of the Toffees’ price.

As a result, savvy purchases could become the norm at Old Trafford. Here’s something they could make…

Manchester United are looking to sign an Euro 2024 striker.

Joshua Zirkzee, a Bologna forward, is currently the most talked about name. Some sources even imply that they are close to making a play for the Dutchman.

However, if that swoop does not go any further, they have another somewhat startling card up their sleeves.

According to sources in Turkey, via Sport Witness, the club is interested in signing Alvaro Morata.

The former Chelsea striker is presently captaining a fairly impressive-looking Spain squad for Euro 2024 and has emerged as a summer transfer target for a number of clubs.

According to the article, United, Roma, Borussia Dortmund, Juventus, and Fenerbahce are all interested in the player and have spoken with his agency about a possible transfer.

The footballer gets a substantial salary of £220,000 per week at his current club Atletico Madrid, but he has a £10 million release clause.

How does Alvaro Morata compare to Ramus Hojlund?

Yes, we understand what you are thinking. Surely not. Probably not.

Morata has been one of the most divisive centre forwards in recent years, particularly for his Romelu Lukaku-like penchant to squander countless great opportunities in front of goal.

He was heavily chastised for this throughout his tenure with Chelsea in England, during which he scored only 24 goals in 72 appearances.

That has been the story of the 31-year-old’s career no matter where he has been. He has also received a lot of criticism while playing for his country.

Gary Neville said during Euro 2020: “He has that vulnerable look about him, almost like he wants a cuddle. And it appears that when he misses an opportunity, he is concerned about what the media, the press, and his teammates will think.

Well, Morata has recovered rather well. He is now the face of Spain at Euro 2024 and has already scored a goal against Croatia.

So, would he make a good signing? Well, it’s hard to tell. That being said, United require a striker, and in the Spanish star, they would get someone with English football experience as well as the ability to score goals.

Last season, he scored 21 goals in 48 outings for Atleti, 15 of which were in LaLiga. That is obviously not a bad number, and it outperforms Rasmus Hojlund, who scored 16 times in all competitions.
