Erik ten Hag and his assistant, Steve McClaren, know Bologna’s Marko Arnautović well from their time at Twente. The two are said to be keen to reunite with the 33-year-old at Manchester United this summer.
Two days ago, Gianluca Di Marzio explained the Serie A side turned down a €8-9m offer made by the Red Devils for the forward.
On Monday, reports coming out of Italy said Manchester United have an improved bid ‘ready’ to sign him.
Bologna chief Marco Di Vaio has dismissed the possibility of the attacker leaving the club, but that has not stopped the Premier League side.
Corriere dello Sport on Tuesday states Manchester United can and want to enter decisively to sign the Austria international before the window closes.
Having seen the first offer rejected, the report states Ten Hag’s side ‘will bring a new offer’ to the Italian club ‘today’.
In fact, United are ‘ready to add a couple more’ million to their previous €9m or so bid in order to please Bologna.
Juventus were also pressing for Arnautović, but today, the situation is different.
Corriere states Manchester United’s interest is not just active, but ‘concrete’ and ‘it goes beyond words’.
