Man United have £7.5m bid for Marko Arnautovic rejected as Erik ten Hag launches SHOCK move for ex-West Ham and Stoke striker in bid to boost his attacking options... with Cristiano Ronaldo's future remaining uncertain

Manchester United are interested in signing former West Ham and Stoke forward Marko Arnautovic.

Erik ten Hag has added defenders Lisandro Martinez and Tyrell Malacia along with creative midfielder Christian Eriksen to his squad this summer, but he has been unable to strengthen his front line yet.

Ten Hag wants to rectify this, and has turned his attention to Arnautovic.

During his previous spells in England, Arnautovic demonstrated his ability to play out wide or through the middle, and Sportsmail understands that his versatility makes him an appealing option for United, while he is also expected to be inexpensive.
