#1 An out and out striker
No, not a deep-lying forward, not a false nine or a striker that wants to be a winger, Alvaro Morata will finally give Manchester United a straight central forward option up front. Many have called for the likes of Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial to start up front but Mourinho has had different ideas.
However, as Morata is an out and out striker that has no intention of being on the flanks, the ‘Special One’ will have no option but to deploy him centrally. This will allow Manchester United for the first time in years to have a fluid and pacey front three. The last time the Red Devils had a pacey, powerful and clinical striker up front, Wayne Rooney had real hair.
