Marko Arnautovic has responded to the rumours that Jose Mourinho is interested in bringing him to Manchester United.

The 29-year-old has scored 11 goals in 35 appearances for West Ham since joining the club last summer but could be set for a move to Old Trafford ahead of the 2018/19 campaign.

United boss Jose Mourinho is on the hunt for attacking reinforcements and Arnautovic has emerged as a serious target for the Red Devils.

Mourinho was in the stands to watch Arnautovic in Austria 1-0 defeat of Russia on Wednesday night and the striker has had his say on the scouting trip.


‘It is a great honour for our entire team that a coach like Mourinho is watching us,’ Arnautovic told Austrian newspaper Kurier.

Reports suggest Mourinho traveled to Innsbruck to keep an eye on Russian duo Aleksandr Golovin and Fyodor Smolov.



While Arnautovic is understood to be United’s top attacking target, West Ham’s £50million valuation of the forward may put them off a deal.

According to Kurier, Mourinho told reporters that he attended the match as he happened to be on holiday in the Tyrol region of Austria.
