Anhman Utd stopped pursuing striker Marko Arnautovic when facing the protest of the fans as well as the tough attitude from Bologna.

According to Sky Sports, Man Utd sent a proposal of $ 9.2 million last weekend, but was rejected by Bologna. After a short time of consideration, Old Trafford's owner withdrew from negotiations, to switch to other strikers. Fabrizio Romano transfer news expert, then confirmed this information.

Man Utd is not accepted by the price that the Italian Club requests. Bologna's sports director, Marco Di Vaio, sought to stop the deal through asserting Arnautovic was "invaluable". He said: "Arnautovic is the center of the Bologna project. We want to keep the current and enhanced squad to enter an important season. Money is not a problem."

According to The Athletic, in addition to the high price that Bologna requested, Man Utd also gave up signing a contract with Arnautovic because of the reaction from the fans. Some even sent email directly to CEO Richard Arnold to protest the deal. Former defender Gary Neville refers to Man Utd "desperate" when he wants to recruit a 33 -year -old striker.

Coach Erik ten Hag view Arnautovic like "cheap-price method" to strengthen the line before they redistributed the sale of one-9, 1/9. The Austria used to work with Ten Hag and assistant Steve McClaren's, in the 20200,

Man Utd also failed to recruit Benjamin Sesko from Red Bull Salzburg. The 19 -year -old striker refused to go to Old Trafford to join RB Leipzig under a five -year contract from the summer of 2023. Romano used the familiar phrase "that's done" (here we go) to announce the deal.
