Real Madrid striker Alvaro Morata has cut short his honeymoon to push through a move to Manchester United.

The Daily Star says Morata has spent the last week in Ibiza following his wedding to Alice Campello and was hoping a £65m switch to Old Trafford would be sorted before he got home.

But Real bosses have rejected United's opening bid and are holding out for a fee in the region of £75m-£80m instead.

Morata has got so frustrated he has left his new wife in Ibiza and headed back to the Spanish capital to urge Real to lower their asking price.

Real president Florentino Perez is in no rush to sell and is willing to bide his time in a bid to coax as much out of United as possible.

Now Morata is poised to intervene personally in the hope it will help speed up the process so he can be a Manchester United player before they leave for their pre-season tour in America next month.
