Marko Arnautović | United have pulled out

I never post here, but If we sign Arnautovic Im done for a while. If he comes here, and scores 10-15 goals, so what? We wont get 4th anyway. So why buy him? I dont get it. 33 year old, recently played in China, had 3 muscle injuries last year…

Please, dont do this, United. I beg you.
 
I think I’m close to being done with United. This signing might just push me over the edge.
 
Where is the racist story coming from. I will come to terms with us being a mid table club, but I can't accept a club who hires racists.
 
Nowhere near good enough as a player or person. Shouldn't even be considered by the club. We really need to get the scouting system sorted out asap to give it time to work towards setting up a decent window next summer.
 

Go on Luckhurst, you tell 'em! Even Everton who are in dire need of a striker aren't interested in him yet here we are. Perennially interested in stopgap 33+ year old strikers.
 
No doubt some will lash out at Luckhurst, but quite frankly he's correct

I don't think so. A lot of people have been patient and willing to see where things go, but this Arnautovic thing just can't be made to make sense even for those who want to give Ten Hag and the club as much of the benefit of the doubt as possible.

On 13 June 2021, Arnautović scored the third goal for Austria during the first game of UEFA Euro 2020 Group C against North Macedonia.[76] During the goal celebration, he used racist slurs against Ezgjan Alioski and Egzon Bejtulai from the rival team, who are both Macedonian Albanians.

Honestly, the fact that we made a bid for him... In the first summer window of a new manager.... Its a fecking incredible situation to be in and should be the source of protests alone. Ighalo in January with some injuries, sure. But this is summer window start of season fully fit squad. Come on. Pathetic. Just splash what's required for somebody at least acceptable. Its disgusting to go after Arnautović
 
We are trying to avoid relegation? I would rather we gave that money to charity and played Bailly upfront if we are desperate for some physicality.

is it really this hard to build a strong and balanced squad with the money we have?
 
This is what I was worried about before ETH came, right man but wrong club. He needs support and it should've been in place, he's a coach not a football oracle scouting master.
 
We deserve to be ridiculed if we sign him. The racism incidents will be the thing that stops it, I think. Absolutely ridiculous that we’re even considering it to be honest
 
Think the Dutch FA didn't find any evidence in their investigation of this case, but knowing him, yeah

Yeah, even if you're looking at everything in the best possible light and requiring stonewall evidence before making judgement, he's a massive, massive nobhead if nothing else.
 
We need some experience up front, it all points to Ronaldo leaving and ETH preparing for that eventuality. Imagine we dont get Sesko and our options are Martial and Rashford for the season. I dont think hes the best option available but hes not the worst either. He will force a move through to come to us and we will get him for around 10m, just hope we get Sesko as well to be the future.

It's just surreal for me that United is in this position. The former manager said United need 10 new players and here at the beginning of the new season the option for a striker is Martial and Rashford.

If United identified Sesko as the next big thing they should get him and play him regularly. It's worth the gamble. Maybe look at Brazil or Argentine to find the next big guy. Sometime I feel the PL scouting is so lazy. Let me help United Scouts. Someone like Endrick is the next big thing in Brazil. Buy him and loan him to his current club. Get him to United when he is 18.

You gotta be joking with Arnautovic. It's a signing a small club fighting relegation would make. Not a topclub.

I’ve supported them for nearly 30 years and I’m at a loss at what’s going on. I’ve questioned why I even bother for the first time possibly ever.

It’s been bad for 10 years and getting worse
 

Weird tweets as so far we haven’t got our Ten Hag main target and we’ve apparently got a budget of £120 million (We’ve already been priced out of other players).

People are just losing their minds over today game, if Ten Hag wants him then should be it. He is the manager after all.
 

Hmmm, if only there was a way we could've known about this before we'd made a move for him.

The ineptitude demonstrated by the people at the highest level of the club is absolutely bewildering.
 
Why does United want Arnautović when they had Cavani? Makes no sense.

And why does United want a 33 years old striker from Bologna?

United is not going to win anything this season. Why not try to find the next big thing and develop their own striker.
Cavani wasn’t happy being on the bench. Arnautovic will probably be fine being on the bench.
 
Few tweets going around from David amoyal about this being dead in the water as the racist stuff has been brought up so hopefully that is the case

What’s next? If he wants Adam Johnson cause we need a winger on the right we go get him? Back the manager yes but there still should be limits. We got him 3 out of the 4 he asked for. And the last one we have done everything we can. It’s not in our control. But fecking Arnautovic? How is he going to make us better?
 
Think the club will pull out, the backlash is pretty evident all around the media. And we all know they do care about their image a lot which might be a saving grace for once.

Absolute shitshow in any case.
 
Is he really racist? Never heard of this.
