Marcel Sabitzer has suggested Marko Arnautovic could indeed be a prime transfer target for Manchester United.
Marko Arnautovic could play a decisive role for Manchester United if he joins the club from West Ham, according to Austria team-mate Marcel Sabitzer.
Hammers to Red Devils for Marko?
Jose Mourinho is said to be interested in bringing Arnautovic to Old Trafford, perhaps as early as January, in order to bolster his options in attack.
The 29-year-old signed for West Ham in 2017 from Stoke City but his agent said in November that he could leave to pursue Champions League football.
RB Leipzig's Sabitzer thinks his international team-mate is ready for a move to United after showing his "real class" in recent seasons.
"Marko is a great guy," Sabitzer told Omnisport. "I get along well with him and we have played together for a long time with the national team. We are good friends and once went on holiday together. I like him a lot and I think he feels the same way about me.
"Everybody can see that he has athletic qualities. He had a lack of maturity and luck in Germany and I think he knows that. But his performances in England the past few years have demonstrated his real class and I can see the same in terms of the national team.
"That's why I believe that he can make another step forward and play a major role there [at Manchester United]. I cross my fingers for him."
Arnautovic, who is sidelined with a hamstring injury and is not expected to be fit until next month, has scored five goals in 13 Premier League appearances this season.
He worked with Mourinho at Inter during a loan spell in the 2009-10 season, but played just three times in Serie A.

Fully agree. Lukaku's ball control is very poor; Pogba's heart is not in the team, and as for Jones, he makes sure he causes the downfall of the team in every crucial match - he is either conceding reckless penalties or scoring own goals.

Coz Rash misses too many chances. Chong isn't as great as you think. Periera is a midfielder.
still better than Arnautovic and all the other oldies he is gonna buy

Rashford is more than enough as a striker. You have Tahith Vhong , Andreas Pereira and a boatload of youngsters ready to face the PL . Why not give them a chance before you start jumping on to other midfielders and strikers. We need a good defensive player yeah but attack is what Nicky Butt is creating in the youth side

United definitely needs a no. 9. Lukaku is useless... his first touch is horrible. He misses 90% of his scoring opportunities. The worst striker i've seen after Gonzalo Higuan... MUFC needs a striker like Iccardi or Kane

I like Arnautovic, he's a great player with a lot of ambition but Sanchez was also a great player with lots of ambition at Arsenal. If we buy Arnautovic I just hope his form does not drop.
