Bologna's Director of Football Marco Di Vaio has revealed that Manchester United asked 'directly' about their attacker Marko Arnautovic in the summer transfer window.
The Reds were linked with a move for the Austrian international and reportedly had a bid of £7.6m bid rejected for the former West Ham and Stoke City forward. The player was wanted by manager Erik ten Hag, but a number of United fans contacted the club to complain about the prospect of Arnautovic playing for the Reds.
Several former United stars also privately expressed concerns about the potential transfer. However, the club were expected to go back in with an improved offer, but ultimately decided to move on to other targets.
