Former West Ham United and Stoke City forward Marko Arnautovic has revealed Jose Mourinho wanted to sign him but Manchester United's deal for Paul Pogba meant they couldn't afford him.
In 2018, MEN Sport reported that Mourinho had been in the stands in Innsbruck to watch Arnautovic feature for Austria. At the time, the Reds were looking for a back-up option for Romelu Lukaku and the Premier League forward was an option.
However, a move never materialised. Speaking to Gazzetta dello Sport's Sportweek, the Bologna man explained why he believes the deal fell through.
