Manchester United keen to sign Premiere League Ace

Jose Mourinho wants to bolster his forward line

Manchester United are looking to bolster their squad in the transfer window after an underwhelming campaign this season, not winning a single silverware. Their priority is to add defensive reinforcements and club will also look to sell few players to accommodate new signings.

But Jose Mourinho also keen to bolster his forward line this summer as he wants potential back-up to the likes of Romelu Lukaku and Alexis Sanchez.

The Red Devils were clearly very dependent on the Belgian this term as they struggled when he got injured and missed few matches. Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial struggled to make an impact upfront as they prefer to play on the left side of the flank.

Manchester United are interested in signing West Ham forward Marko Arnautovic, according to  Sky Sports .

Arnautovic joined the Hammers from Stoke City for a club-record £25 million fee last summer and has enjoyed a fine season with them despite the club’s struggles. The 29 year old scored 11 goals and assisted 6 during the 2017-2018 season and was one of the standout players for the club.

The Austrian has previously worked with the Portuguese manager during their time at Inter Milan back in 2009. He made only three appearances for the Serie A giants during an unsuccessful loan spell at the San Siro from FC Twente and subsequently joined Werder Bremen in the summer of 2010.

The 29 year old has still 4 years left on his contract with The Irons and club have no intention to sell him this summer as they consider him an integral part of the team.

Should United make a move for him it would likely to cost them around £50 million as the club have no intentions to sell him below that amount.
