That tweet is misleading. The full quote is more past tense. Mourinho saying that we had interest in Morata, but no agreement could be made.
 
So it looks Morata is still on the cards.

It would seem we would have to lose De Gea judging by news over past couple of days.

You just crushed my hopes, 40 seconds after they were reignited.

Doesn't sound past tense to me.
 
We are obviously not buying two expensive strikers. And what sounds like we are possibly ready to take Ibra back in Jan thus this one is as dead as it can be. Unfortunate. Would have been interesting to see Morata step up.
 
No need for Morata if Zlatan is coming back later. Rather have Zlatan given we already have Lukaku and instead invest that money elsewhere.
 


I'm not the least bit surprised we couldn't come to an agreement with those cnuts. By the sound of the reports, they were taking us to the cleaners for a bit part player. Feck Madrid with the highest amount of fecks ever.
 

"Have had" interest in Morata, so it's the past tense. Mourinho (recently) does not talk about players that we are still interested in, so the Morata deal is not happening. It was a clear grammatical error/misquote.
 
I saw a pic of him from the US, he indeed had dyed his hair red. :(
I really wish we go for him as well.
 
That briefing on De Gea was a shout out to Real Madrid.

I think we'd do a deal with them if it involved Morata.

I suspect we know he will move one summer or another and it's Jose saying "it's a goal keeper, we can make some money which we have plenty of or we can use him as a useful bargaining chip".

Pity because Morata would be longterm, while Ibra is so short-term. I Martial and Rashford don't step up we could be looking for another striker next season.
 
Those Mourinho quotes make it sound as if had we had reached an agreement with Real he woulda been here instead of lukaku (admittedly i'm bias since i wanted him over lukaku)

No, We looked at morata but could not agree a fee,De gea is all fabricated news.

There is also a briefing that utd feel madrid cant buy de gea because they dont have the funds to afford him at all.

There is nothing to de gea stories and morata's chance is gone.

Which fits the narrative, no?

If you don't want to sell him stop talking about him.

alternative theory, Mendes leaked the de gea stuff to sound out Madrid as he's had a fall out with. United and doesn't want any of his players at United and is blocking clients like Fabinho and James from going to United
 
It is really weird, it's almost like we are egging them on. wtf?

I can only think that during the Morata negotiations they were trying to get DDG as part of the deal, so Woodward knows for sure they do still want him, perhaps he wants to flush them out early on to get it over and done with before the season starts, & draw a line under it once and for all.

Why do people think this is a thing, he's Jose's agent, why would he want him to suffer? It's illogical.

There goes his Tier 1 status on /reddevils
 
Those latest quotes from Mourinho put pay to the absolute BS theory that the Morata link was a 'smokescreen'.

Mendes had a fall out with Madrid and is doing the same there. He wouldn't be moving players in that direction.
 
Does look a bit red here in fairness

Couldn't Marca just photoshop the red out of it like they do with crowds?
