Marko Arnautovic

Manchester United transfer target Marko Arnautović was once accused of being 'disrespectful' to the women's team at West Ham.

The Red Devils have failed to break the dominance of Chelsea, Manchester City and Arsenal since joining the WSL in 2019, but they will be hoping to change that this season. Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag refused to be drawn on whether the reports around Arnautović were true, so it remains to be seen whether they should be of concern to fans of the women’s team. “In and around the training ground he’d always be quite disruptive of our training sessions when he’d walk over.

"It's true that there's a bid from a well-known club. I'm in contact with Bologna to see if that can be realised," Danijel Arnautovic told Kurier Sport. Man ...

I'm in contact with Bologna to see if that can be realised," Danijel Arnautovic told Kurier Sport. Ten Hag said in his post-game press conference. So that's it."

I am waiting for the lift and I press and I press and still I have got seven minutes so I am ok. Here, take my watch'. I still have that watch in my house." The hotel was huge and my room was on the 75th floor. In an interview with the Daily Mail, Arnautovic explained: "We were at Abu Dhabi for pre-season with Inter in 2009.

MANCHESTER UNITED have launched a surprise swoop for Bologna striker Marko Arnautovic.

"It is clear to see [that in] the second half we were better in midfield with Eriksen down and Ronaldo up," he said.

Pursuit of the 33-year-old former West Ham striker is the symptom of a club without a plan. Erik ten Hag needs to find one ASAP. August 8, 2022 2:44 ...

A memorable equaliser against Villarreal in the Uefa Champions League was perhaps the finest of a vital bunch. Of course, Ronaldo wants to play in the Champions League; the problem is that no Champions League club has so far expressed interest in the wantaway superstar. Nine years down the line it falls to Ten Hag to gather up the pieces of a failed regime and stamp his authority on Old Trafford. He must use the enveloping crisis as collateral to get his way. Alexis Sanchez (29): Sanchez signed for United late in the January window in 2018 – but went on to score just five goals in 45 appearances. Marko Arnautovic? The Austrian target is a symptom of the mess inherited. First in that without success on the pitch the means to a sustainable future is removed. That fundamental misunderstanding of what United is all about, what sport is all about has led the club to this nadir, back-to-back defeats to Brighton, a team that had never won at Old Trafford. The coach is both the first and last piece of the jigsaw. For the Glazer family United is all transaction, the running of the club is delegated to people like them; financiers, fund managers, deal makers. Ten Hag was always going to have to see this for himself, to smell the odour of rot, to feel the disappointment and rancour of the supporters, to weigh the failings of his squad, to grasp what must be done. The only one capable of leading the recovery is Ten Hag. The business of United is football, not profit. Before the supine disintegration against Brighton, Ten Hag was dealing with abstractions, a rational understanding of what had gone before and the potential at Old Trafford. All this had been explained during negotiations.

This is football.' Arnautovic turns 34 in April 2023, and he is not the first striker not at the peak of his career that United have gone for.
