There have been a number of low points in Manchester United’s recruitment under the Glazer ownership, but the failed pursuit of 33-year-old Marko Arnautovic in mid-August, amid a backlash from fans and in the wake of an opening-day defeat to Brighton is right down there.
United have decided not to follow up on Arnautovic, after having a low-ball bid rejected by Bologna, and with supporters reportedly emailing chief executive Richard Arnold in droves to complain about the former West Ham forward, who has been accused of using racist language in the past.
