Manchester United are reportedly keen on West Ham United’s Marko Arnautovic.
According to Gianluca Di Marzio, Manchester United hold an interest in a surprise deal to sign West Ham United attacker Marko Arnautovic this summer.
The Red Devils are in the market for new signings this summer having come up short behind local rivals Manchester City in the race for the Premier League title, and manager Jose Mourinho will be looking to splash the cash again.
Another forward may well be on Mourinho’s wish list given his apparent lack of trust in Anthony Martial, and it seems that a surprise pursuit could be on the cardds.
Sky Italia’s Gianluca Di Marzio reports that United are keen to raid West Ham United for Marko Arnautovic, with Mourinho looking to sign him or Juventus ace Mario Mandzukic.
Arnautovic, 29, suffered a poor first half of the season with West Ham following a £24million move from Stoke City (Sky Sports), but ended the campaign with 11 goals and six assists in 31 Premier League games.
That record appears to have sparked interest from Mourinho, and it could be a reunion for the pair given that they worked together with Inter Milan back in the 2009-10 season.
It remains to be seen just how much West Ham would want for Arnautovic, but as United also allegedly close in on a €50million (£44million) swoop for Shakhtar Donetsk midfielder Fred, Mourinho could be back with the funds to lure Arnautovic to Old Trafford this summer.
