West Ham winger Marko Arnautovic has revealed he is flattered by rumours linking him with a move to Manchester United.

A Sky Sports report last week claimed United are considering a £50million swoop for the Austria international.

Jose Mourinho is understood to be a fan of Arnautovic, a player he managed during his time at Inter Milan, but it remains to be seen whether United have an interest in signing the 29-year-old.

Now Arnautovic has had his say on the matter, claiming his agent hasn't informed him of any offers from United.

"It’s nice to hear," the former Stoke man said of United’s rumoured interest. "I’ve not heard anything from my brother, my agent. You can keep asking this question, you’ll never hear the answer from me."

One player who is close to joining United is Shakhtar Donetsk's Brazilian midfielder Fred.

The 25-year-old is understood to have undergone a medical at United's Carrington training complex on Monday and an official announcement confirming the transfer is expected from the club in the coming days.

Two other players United are interested in signing are Sergej Milinkovic-Savic and Marco Verratti, with Mourinho to keen to bolster his midfield.

The Portuguese also wants three new defenders - specifically Diogo Dalot, Toby Alderweireld and Alex Sandro.
