Watch mad moment Man Utd transfer target Alvaro Morata somehow recovers from injury after realising he’s scored
SCORING a goal in football is one of the best feelings – and for Alvaro Morata it even seems to miraculously cure injuries.
Morata, a transfer target of Manchester United, scored a wonderful if not slightly bizarre goal for Atletico Madrid which saw him undergo a “miracle” recovery.

The Chelsea flop skinned two defenders before firing a shot towards goal in an effort to double the lead against Elche on his side’s La Liga return.
A third defender came across and deflected the shot into a high arcing loop, while the second defender left a bit on Morata as he tried to recover from being beaten earlier.
The Spain World Cup star then fell to the floor writhing in pain – as his shot looped into the net to make it 2-0.
But mere seconds later, he was back up on his feet celebrating with team-mates as if he was never injured.
And fans were quick to comment on his recovery.
One user simply described it as a “miracle.”
A second user declared: “This is why football is the most beautiful game, such a great sport with a powerful spirit, even God intervenes and heal the wounded when needed!”
Some fans chose to also highlight team-mate Antoine Griezmann‘s striking new hairdo, with the Frenchman showing off an all-pink head of hair.

One user wrote: “His play acting is almost as ridiculous as Griezmann’s hair.”
Another said: “Looking at Griezmann healed him.”
However, some fans were not happy with Morata’s antics, and blasted his “diving.”
One user said: “They gotta get diving out the game.”
Other simply branded his antics “embarrassing”.
Man United are in the market for a new striker after losing Cristiano Ronaldo and missing out on Cody Gakpo, who has signed for Liverpool instead.
Morata has scored six goals for his side this season, but whether he is the right fit for Erik ten Hag‘s side is questionable.
