Morata gives them some much needed speed up top

Over the past few seasons, Manchester United have had to suffer from the likes of Wayne Rooney, Robin Van Persie and Zlatan Ibrahimovic. They’re all players with vast amounts of technical ability but none of them recently have had the pace to match. In the Premier League today, it’s imperative to have an all functioning forward that can not only hold up play but also stretch defences when need be.

Former Manchester United coach Rene Meulensteen described the 24-year old as ‘mobile, agile and good at creating chances.’ The striker also has great acceleration and his large leg strides make him impossible to catch when at full pelt, his tall build further aids his flight. At Old Trafford, the Spaniard will inject lightning pace through the middle giving Pogba a central option to feed in behind defences.
