Ed Woodward wary of Real Madrid: He thinks Man Utd could be held to ransom for Morata

United want Morata because their top target Romelu Lukaku is joining Chelsea.

But Woodward thinks Bernabeu chiefs could try and strong-arm him i transfer talks.

He thinks the fact United refused to sell David De Gea could go against him.

So he will make one last bid of £60m to try and lure the Spain striker to Old Trafford.

Publicly Morata’s insisted he’s happy at Real Madrid – although he has hinted he may be open to moving if it means he gets more game-time.

Morata said earlier this week: “I want to be playing and to be important to the squad, particularly next year when there is the World Cup.

“But I want to fight for my place here, I would be crazy to leave Real Madrid. I would like to stay.”

His agent Juanma Lopez has offered United genuine hope a deal can be struck after admitting Morata has become frustrated at Real.

The striker’s agent, meanwhile, has give United hope a deal could be done.

Juanma Lopez said: “He does not want a season like this again. It was a great season, but he wants to play more.

“The player will take a clear and definitive decision in the coming days. I have not yet met with the representatives from Real Madrid.

“Alvaro is a player who wants to play a more important role. He wants to play more. Which is normal for an attacker who has scored 19 goals. It is too little.”
