Ten Haag was asked about the 33-year-old after Sunday’s 2-1 defeat by Brighton at Old Trafford, in what was the United manager’s first competitive game. “I’m not going into names because I think in this pre-season 250 players are involved or linked to Manchester United, so that’s it,” he said. “We have two strikers, maybe a third, with Marcus Rashford as well. “We thought of him as a striker but he had a very good preparation on the left side and today he had two very good chances coming in from the left side. “So I think it was the right decision to do it that way. But the standard No 9 wasn’t available today.” Image: Arnautovic has scored 15 goals in 34 games for Bologna

United are keen to bring the former West Ham and Stoke forward, who scored 43 Premier League goals, back to England. Lisandro Martinez and Tyrell Malacia have been signed in defense along with midfielder Christian Eriksen already this summer, but Erik ten Hag has yet to strengthen his front line. Use Chrome browser for more accessible video player FREE WATCH: Highlights from Brighton’s Premier League win over Manchester United With Anthony Martial currently injured and concerns over Cristiano Ronaldo’s future, United are looking for more options up front. They remain interested in RB Salzburg striker Benjamin Sesko, but there is a sense that it is a difficult deal. Ten Haag is therefore keen to sign Arnautovic, who can play out wide or through the middle. The Dutchman was asked about the 33-year-old after Sunday’s 2-1 defeat by Brighton at Old Trafford, in what was the United manager’s first competitive game. “I’m not going into names because I think in this pre-season 250 players are involved or linked to Manchester United, so that’s it,” he said. “We have two strikers, maybe a third, with Marcus Rashford as well. “We thought of him as a striker but he had a very good preparation on the left side and today he had two very good chances coming in from the left side. “So I think it was the right decision to do it that way.

United’s interest in the Austrian could be explained by his previous link with Steve McClaren, who is one of ten Haag’s assistants at Old Trafford. Arnautovic was playing for FC Twente when McClaren took over the Eredivisie club in the summer of 2008 and became a regular at the club. Ten Hag also spent time as McClaren’s No. 2 in the Netherlands.
