Is Alvaro Morata the answer to Manchester United’s striking woes?

4)  Experience :

For a 24 year old , he has had incredible success. 15 titles with Juventus and Real Madrid, probably two of the best clubs in the world at the moment, would have given him enough exposure and experience to be a success at the big stage.

He has played two champions league final already,in fact scoring in one of them for Juventus against Barcelona . So there won’t be the additional pressure of leading the forward line in a club like Manchester United. This is one main factor which arises in his favour. Lukaku is often accused of under performing in important matches,although it is a tad unfair to him seeing that he plays for a mid-table club.

 

Perhaps Morata’s biggest challenge is to maintain his impressive strike rate and conversion rate throughout an entire season. The big question is, is he the solution to United’s goal scoring issues? If he does end up signing for Manchester United, it will undoubtedly be the biggest challenge he has ever faced in his career,as he has never been the main striker before.Undoubtedly talented, he has his limitations. However, he has everything he has to succeed in the Premier League; the talent, the experience and silverware. And he has time on his side. At 24,it’s the right time for him to take the next step in his career. And who better to take him there than the man who gave him his big break?
