Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho remains confident of signing Real Madrid striker Alvaro Morata.

United are still in talks to purchase Morata from the European champions, says Italian sources.

The 24-year-old got married in Venice over the weekend but has been keen on a move away from the Bernabeu after winning his second Champions League winner's medal earlier this month.

But Mourinho has been wooing Morata with regular phone calls according to Sky Italia's Fabrizio Romano.

He tweeted: "Man Utd are still in talks with Real Madrid for Morata. And trying to convince F. Perez to sell him. Agreement reached with Álvaro."
