Marko Arnautovic gives his side to story after dispute over failed Man Utd transfer

Marko Arnautovic has revealed that Manchester United tried to sign him "several times" in the summer before he decided to stay at Bologna.

The 33-year-old was heavily linked with a move to Old Trafford as Erik ten Hag tried to bolster his forward line, with the former Stoke City man lined up as a potential option. Arnautovic scored an impressive 14 goals in 33 Serie A appearances last season - the most prolific season of his career so far.

It was a link which sparked plenty of criticism from supporters and pundits alike, with United reportedly pulling out of a deal for Arnautovic due to the backlash they received. However, his agent told a completely different story and previously claimed that the player also rejected the move to Old Trafford, something Arnautovic has now confirmed.
