BBC pundit Chris Sutton says news of Manchester United’s move for Marko Arnautovic is “a PR disaster”.
United are interested in signing ex-West Ham and Stoke forward Arnautovic, who is now 33 and playing for Bologna.
Since new manager Erik ten Hag’s tenure began with a 2-1 home loss to Brighton on Sunday, United have also been linked with Juventus midfielder Adrien Rabiot.
“That’s madness, thinking about signing [Arnautovic],” said Sutton.
“I thought it was a spoof, it’s ridiculous.”
Arnautovic scored 43 goals in 184 Premier League games before making a lucrative move from West Ham to Chinese side Shanghai Port in 2019.
