Perisic was a consistent player for an inconsistent Inter side

#3 Alvaro Morata – Real Madrid

Alvaro Morata could be the ideal replacement for Ibrahimovic

The Red Devils recently released last season’s top scorer Zlatan Ibrahimovic due to injury and are now on the lookout for a new striker for the upcoming season. Marcus Rashford has filled in excellently, but looking for more immediate results, Mourinho would prefer a higher profile player to lead the front line.

Mourinho’s choice, it seems, is Alvaro Morata. The Spaniard has struggled for game time since moving back to Madrid and therefore wants a move away from the Bernabeu. Manchester United have a strong interest and have bid at least £60 million for the striker, but Madrid want a higher fee for the talented striker.

Due to the striker contributing to 20 goals in 26 games in La Liga, with a lot of appearances from the bench, Morata may well be worth more. Given the fact United seemingly have sizeable transfer kitty, more money shouldn’t be a problem.

Morata ranks in third on United’s transfer targets but everyone will have to wait and see whether he will be worth the hefty price tag.
