Yesterday the player’s father and agent met officials at the club to iron out the details of the deal.
It had been held up with Real wanting £80million rather than the £60million United valued him at.
But the player himself intervened last week when he contacted Real officials from his honeymoon to try and get the deal smoothed through.
Yesterday afternoon his father Alfonso and agent Juanma Lopez went to the Bernabeu for a meeting that last nearly an hour.
Real are understood to have relented on their asking price and acceded to United’s valuation of a player who was not first choice at The Bernabeu last season.
Newly married Morata, 24, is currently away with his wife in Sardinia but is ready to fly straight to Manchester for a medical and join up with the rest of the squad on Sunday to fly out to the team’s Los Angeles training base.
