He thinks that joining United as a first team striker will guarantee him a position in the Spanish national team in the upcoming FIFA 2018 World Cup in Russia.

Morata’s agent confirmed that his client needs a club where Alvaro’s first team place is reserved after starting only in 14 La Liga matches with Real Madrid.

AC Milan has set the 24-year-old striker Morata as one of their targets for the current transfer window but Morata replied: “It's hard to imagine going back to Italy, despite my experience in Serie A being extraordinary. The only club for me in Italy is Juventus”, according to the Telegraph.
