Man United want Arnautovic

Sky Sports is claiming that United are pondering on a potential offer to land the Austria international forward in the 2018 summer window.

The same report says that West Ham United would be reluctant to offload the 29-year-old forward following his decent debut campaign at the east London club.

As per the same report, Arnautovic is worth about £50m despite the London club signing the exciting playmaker in a club transfer record fee of £25m last summer transfer window.

The Hammers star scored 11 goals and provided six assists in the 2017-18 campaign to help West Ham United avoid relegation under ex-Manchester United manager David Moyes.

Man United to use special connection

The playmaker, who has four seasons remaining on his current contract ensure the London club can ask for a premium fee, having worked with Portuguese tactician Jose Mourinho during a brief spell at Italian Serie A club Inter Milan.

The Austrian scored 26 times in 145 matches across all competitions during four years at Stoke City.

Man United were 1-0 winners against West London giants Chelsea in the Emirates FA Cup final at Wembley Stadium after Belgium international playmaker Eden Hazard scored the winning goal from the penalty spot.
