Bologna director of football Marco Di Vaio has claimed it was Marko Arnautovic that pulled the plug on his move to Manchester United - and not the other way around.
The 33-year-old emerged as a target for the Red Devils, with Erik ten Hag looking to add options to the striking department. It is believed United saw a bid in the region of £8million knocked back for Arnautovic, before the pursuit was shelved.
Following the collapse, sources from the United side claimed they completed a U-turn due to a vociferous backlash from supporters. Arnautovic has twice been forced to deny allegations of racism, most recently at Euro 2020.
