Manchester United are considering signing Marko Arnautovic this summer window and the transfer revelation has raised eyebrows at Old Trafford and beyond.
Having welcomed Tyrell Malacia, Christian Eriksen and Lisandro Martinez to the club under his watch, manager Erik ten Hag continues to pursue Frenkie de Jong and other targets. However, there has been limited movement for him in attacking quarters amid speculation over Cristiano Ronaldo and his future.
With that man Ronaldo not fit enough to start and Anthony Martial injured for the curtain raiser, Ten Hag deployed Eriksen as a false nine against Brighton and, no sooner than the dust had settled on that reverse, veteran Arnautovic had emerged as a surprise late target for United this summer.
