Alvaro Morata could not be more loved up as talk of a £60million switch to Manchester United intensifies.

The Real Madrid striker married model Alice Campello in Venice last month before enjoying a honeymoon on party island Ibiza.

And his latest Instagram post — taken during a luxury boat trip while on holiday in Italy — is a gushing tribute to his new missus.

Alongside a picture of the couple with their arms wrapped around each other, Morata, 24, said: "Sunset in Sardinia with the most beautiful [woman] in the world is priceless."

United are expected to announce a deal for the Spain international by Thursday — much to the relief of boss Jose Mourinho.

As reported by Mirror Sport on Tuesday, the Special One is frustrated at a lack of signings so far in the transfer window .

The only recruit to date is Swedish defender Victor Lindelof, a £35m buy from Benfica.

But the capture of Morata before the Red Devils depart for a five-game tour of the US on Sunday would certainly lift Mourinho's mood.

Morata is set to leave Real after struggling for game time at the Bernabeu last season.

He made 26 appearances in La Liga — scoring 15 goals — but just 14 of those came as a starter.

Morata was also only used as a late substitute as Zinedine Zidane's side ran out 4-1 winners over Juventus in the Champions League final.

Mourinho is a long-time admirer, having handed the hitman his Real debut during his time in charge of the Spanish giants in 2010.
