Jose Mourinho has confirmed that Manchester United want to sign Alvaro Morata this summer but admits that a deal is now looking unlikely.

The Spanish forward has been heavily linked with a move to Old Trafford this summer as the Portuguese coach prepares for his second season in charge at the club.

However, Manchester United eventually turned towards Romelu Lukaku after failing to agree a fee with Real Madrid for the 24-year-old Morata.

Mourinho has now confirmed that he is a keen admirer of the Spanish forward, having worked with him during his spell in charge at Real Madrid.

However, the Portuguese coach has appeared to hint that a deal for Morata is now off the table after Manchester United failed to settle on a fee with the Spanish club.
