Arnautovic's agent hints at Man Utd transfer offer

Marko Arnautovic's agent says he received an offer from 'a well-known club' amid reports linking Manchester United with a move for the Bologna striker.

The Austrian international joined the Serie A side last season, after spending two years with Port Shanghai in the Chinese Super League, and remains under contract until 2024 with them.

But news broke over the weekend that United, who suffered a first Premier League defeat to Brighton and Hove Albion, were considering a remarkable move for the 33-year-old.

Bologna reportedly rejected an opening offer from the Old Trafford club, but now Danijel Arnautovic - both agent and brother of the star - has confirmed there is an offer and says they work for a result.

"It's true that there is an offer from a well-known club," he told Kurier. "I am in contact with Bologna to see if this can be achieved."

Arnautovic previously spent six years in the English top flight, including four at Stoke City and two at West Ham, where he was voted Hammer of the Year in 2018.

Since joining Bologna last year, the striker is arguably in the best form of his career, scoring 14 goals in 33 Serie A games last season.

News of a potential move for the star, however, prompted a largely negative reaction from many fans and figures associated with United, including former captain Gary Neville, who described them as "desperate".
