They've sat and watched Man City snap-up the likes of Bernardo Silva and Ederson in big-money moves, and they're desperate to get in on the act.
According to the Telegraph, Morata has agreed terms with United and is just waiting for Jose Mourinho's side to negotiate a fee with Real Madrid.
Morata would personally like to stay at twelve time European Champions, but after only making 14 La Liga starts this season, the striker knows he needs game time ahead of next summer's World Cup.
The striker, who featured as a late substitute last night as Real Madrid beat Juventus 4-1 to retain the Champions League, has been heavily linked with a move to Old Trafford.

United are said to have already bid £52.3 million for the forward, which was rejected by Real who are holding out for at least £60m.
Reporter Graeme Bailey adds that Jose Mourinho has settled upon Morata as his top transfer target after a deal to sign Antoine Griezmann fell through.
"Alvaro is a player who wants to play a more important role", Morata's agent told Foot Mercato.
While many United fans may wish the club to keep De Gea next season, the sense is it's becoming likelier by the day that the Spanish stopper is heading back to Spain, and the Morata deal seems to be a goer. He wants to play more.
The attacker scored 27 goals in 93 appearances for Juve, and while he may not risk the Bianconeri's anger by joining the enemy, it's also highly unlikely he returns to the Old Lady considering Gonzalo Higuain took his place.
