Manchester United have had a €60m bid for Alvaro Morata knocked back by Real Madrid, according to Sky Italia.
Morata now appears to be Jose Mourinho's priority attacking target as he searches for a replacement for Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
The Red Devils have made their move for the Spaniard and put €60m on the plate for Morata – but Real Madrid have rejected it.
The European champions value Morata at the €90m mark and the ball is now in Manchester United's court.
Italian giants AC Milan are keen on Morata, but with Manchester United's €60m not enough for Real Madrid, it appears unlikely the Rossoneri will be in a financial position to compete.

Los Blancos have been linked with rekindling their interest in the Manchester United goalkeeper and the Red Devils wanting Morata could give the Spanish giants the perfect chance to bring up the custodian.
