Yeah. He was telling the truth, getting very annoyed that we were unsettling his player. Good to give him a dose of his own tactics!

I think I'd enjoy watching Morata play more than I would Lukaku, however if we were lining up against, say, City with one of those two against us, who would you be more scared of facing? I'd say Lukaku. Despite being a less talented player, he would prove to be more effective.
Is lukaku really 24? He looks 30...
Please God let this be true and end the pursuit of that Madrid reject Morata. 
It's been like that for the last 4 summers really, but every year people forget it.
We found out we were signing Shneiderlin only when somebody posted a photo of a blood vial from his medical on Twitter, journalists didn't even know we'd agreed a fee for him.
A day before we finally signed Herrera, British Journalist's were still telling people that United wouldn't be going back for him after the cock-up the previous year.
So based on your logic, is Lukaku a Chelsea reject then?Please God let this be true and end the pursuit of that Madrid reject Morata.
That Everton Forum has a nerve asking visitors to sign in during "exceptionally busy periods". Imagine having to go through years long the nightmare of getting 10 likes again.
It's not a concern for Morata, coming from Real Madrid.
Interesting, with all the doom and gloom that's been floating around about us not doing much business, this quietly happens. Just goes to show that we have very little idea of what is happening behind the scenes.
I am now convinced we'll announce Bale and Neymar within a couple of weeks
You should see your doctor about that.
Why does this happen with every black player? It's not a funny nor original joke.
This is more or less what Duncan castles said isn't it. ManUtd are negotiating with multiple players before making the final call. Lindelof and Keane, now Morata and Lukaku.

And yet Morata was underwhelming the sh*t out of me, too. It's an apocalyptic market.
Should have chosen my username more carefully
Guess that's true pal. Just goes to show the media, and all these journos on twitter no absolutely eff all, and are just making the same educated guesses we could make.
Yep - fair enough, I remember this. I can't find the article though, can you find it?
A few years back any player from Asia was supposedly only being bought for shirt sales. So it is always something.
amazing stats.
Let's assume because he is now matured and joins us (ie a top club), we can expect a 25-40% improvement in those stats.
184 goals (33% improvement) in next 259 appearances (or 5 seasons @51 games per season)
that's 36 goals per season for 5 years which is better than Shearer or Ruud standards!
I know we need someone who reads the game well in defense but this is taking things way too literally.
And next summer people will completely forget about everything that happened this summer. When it comes to transfer seasons so many of us are goldfish.
You could easily flip it around and say maybe Morata is used to be surrounded by world class players so isn't ready for the responsibility of being the main striker for Utd.
You can explore hypothetical, tenuous negatives forever.
I think Rooney will play a bit behind the striker which leaves them with a 21yo coming from a different league as their main outlet. There's rumours they're in for Giroud but not sure they're from any credible sources yet.
Think they've finished splashing the cash and hence announcing the deal now
Reckon we had this in the bag for a while
He fecking loves Danny Welbeck I'd bet.
Would be a good signing.
Not sure it's a black player thing. Remember when Arjen Robben was only about 22, but looked 37?
All about exact wording. From United side it's £75m fee accepted, Everton saying no deal agreed. Both might be right. They might not have agreed on the exact breakdown of that £75m or any potential add ons.
tonconflicting stories coming out on this one? Some say deal accepted, some say not. The drama continues. Maybe this is the final smoke screen for Morata?muppet season is official lads
It's a decent indicator, obviously. What I took issue with is that his goalscoring record alone makes it ridiculous that some people don't rate him. There are valid reasons to not rate Lukaku that highly. It's certainly not laughable, despite his decent and consistent record for mid-table Premier League teams.
What. A. Signing.
I'm still none the wiser, nobody is sharing anything with me. But other journalists have definitely been made aware that United and Everton are tieing up lose ends on a huge deal. Apparently United - who deal in USDollar - have had a bid of $95m accepted by Everton. Player agreed terms months ago. Lukaku was ALWAYS Mourinho's first choice (news to me) and he has been really frustrated that this wasn't wrapped up weeks ago as Lukaku and Mourinho always knew this move was on this summer. Lukaku said in May he knew where he was going in the summer, we all assumed Chelsea, he meant Man United,
He ticks every box we need ticking in a centre-forward. We failed at scoring enough goals against bottom half teams, Lukaku buries bottom half teams with half-chances. He is perfect for us. I had doubt over Morata being a success here. I have no doubt about Lukaku whatsoever.

Rooney has also looked 40 odds since breaking on thr scene.
Raoila whoring himself out to ousmane Dembele, another master plan? Are any of his clients a defensive midfielder ?
Are any of his clients a defensive midfielder ?About as official as it gets then.
I'm just relieved we signed an Ibrahimovic replacement. Someone that will definitely fit the way mourinho wants to play.
He scored a hatrick against us.
I'm happy about Lukaku and not happy with Morata
Honestly I'd have prefered Morata but still happy nonethelessHe said it on the full time devils youtube channel, their end of year review, at the end they talk about who united will want to sign for next year.
