Marko Arnautovic turned down Manchester United, rather than the reverse, according to the player's agent.
Austria striker Arnautovic emerged as a surprise target for the Premier League side over the summer, having previously worked with manager Erik ten Hag at Twente. However, he ended up remaining at Bologna and has enjoyed a productive start to the Serie A season.
A section of United's support voiced their concerns over the mooted transfer for Arnautovic and the club are said to have pulled out of a deal after a not-insignificant amount of backlash. According to agent Tiziano Pasquali, though, things went down a little differently to how they were first reported.
