Jesus, calm down. It's probably just a case of the player used to play for Jose so lets link him. On the off chance we are "interested", we would probably want him for next to nothing as a backup.
Marko Arnautovic

We are going to have a 100% tax put on just about every player we are linked with. Therefore its best to go for players like Fred, Dalot et al. At least they have a chance at being here a over the next 5-10 years as opposed to these late career type buys where the selling club holds us for a ransom.
We will not sign Arnautovic for £50m.
Move along.

Well how much did West Ham get him for? It wasn’t cheap! Rather this rumour than Manzukic (however it’s spelt)
He's a good player tbf and wouldn't mind seeing him come in as a squad player but not a chance we're paying anywhere near £50M for Arnautovic.
I actually think he will do really well here.
He has something about him, would be all for this.

Cannot be true
Both elements of that story probably are true...that we aw interested in him and that West Ham want £50m. Doesn't mean we are going to sign him for £50m.
This would make LVG's recruitment policy look like the work of genius,
He reminds me of Ronaldo, without the skill, finishing, pace and composure.

If he was cheap I wouldn't mind him as back-up. I've always quite liked him. Not for anything near that price though.
£50M for a player only good enough to be a back-up striker, no way can I see this being sanctioned, ludicrous price, even half that is pushing it.
We've been subject to same strange links in the past...... This one is beyond me. I do not get it at all.
Surely we'd get Dzeko for that money. Very similar players except Dzeko obviously being much better.
50m could get us close to acquiring guy like Mahrez.
Are they that similar?
Problem is with United now is everyone knows we can afford anything, why we keep getting quoted rediculous prices.
I don’t think his perpose is to be the main striker. Dzeko has done this move before he won’t be coming here to sit on the bench again.
Firstly, there are only about 8 tier 1 players in the world (tier 1 players are the truly world class ones in my opinion), 1 of which we already have (De Gea) while the rest are just plain unattainable (the Ronaldos and Messis).
Also, we have signed a bunch of tier 2 players since Mourinho came in already, such as Lukaku, Pogba, Zlatan, mkhitaryan, Alexis to name a few. What has that got us? 2.5 trophies, 6th place and 2nd place. That may look easy on the eye, but for a club like United it just won’t do.
So now we are signing the tier 3 to 4 players such as Arnautovic and Fred and trying to turn them into tier 1 players, which to me seems like a decent plan. I like that we are signing young players who no one has ever heard of and trying to turn them into tier 1 players as well, such as Bailly (who has gone from a nobody to a tier 2 to 3 player in just 2 seasons) and Dalot.
Add our new transfer policy (maybe more young players would be nice) along with one marquee name every summer and if at least 75% of the summer signings are successes every summer, we could honestly be on course for another dynasty which could hopefully even match Sir Alex’s.
In conclusion, while I may be being very optimistic, I am truly speaking from the heart as well and honestly believe in every single point that I have made in this post.
There is no way we will sign him for 50 million. Twenty, twenty-five perhaps, but not 50.
£50M
Wouldn't give 15 for the fecker

So nothing like Ronaldo then.
£50M ? I seriously doubt anyone would pay that for him, nowhere near worth that figure.
Think that's the point.
nothing to see here.
Not a chance of this happening.
I'm pleased he's not for sale.
Bang average and temperamental player suffering with inconsistency, no thanks!
50m could get us close to acquiring guy like Mahrez.
In your fantasy world may be. Any decent players in today's EPL market is quoted for 50M.
I also think he would do well in a better team like ours as a backup striker. He could surprise few... but 50m is a bit too much for player of his age and ability, just realised he will turn 30 soon, I thought hes like 26/27, player who we would struggle to resell in three years playing limited gametime, dont think we would invest that, but hey they can have fellaini!
This is going to be a long summer isn't it. Who's next, Messi? But yeah if these links are in any form true, I hope to god it doesn't go through, how would he help us challenge for the title, just get Bale on the RW.
That's why I used a word 'close' which don't say that Mahrez is actualy worth exactly 50m.
Don't need another inconsistent player but luckily can't see it happening. Must be a case of just having a feel for things.
I don't know what all the hype about him is, I was never a fan. Wouldn't really look forward to this, and would rather spend the £50m on someone to bolster our full back positions rather than up front. Imagine the media circus regarding Rashford and Martial if another attacking mid/forward joins.
Wouldn´t be too surprised if Jose wanted an experienced backup to Lukaku. But there is no chance we´re paying that kind of money.
Who´s next in line? Shane Long? Andy Carrol?

It is rumored he will join Man City for £75M. We will find out soon.
Would make more sense to release Felliani, let Everton sign him, then buy him back from them for £35m plus Martial instead of buying Arnautovic.
Thank Christ.
Yeah, this isn't happening.
Complete and utter smokescreen.
Would go down in history as among the worst transfers of all time. Thankfully, there's no chance of it happening.
I don't want him to go there, tbh. Would absolutely love him at Arsenal more than in City as he could make City too diverse and too unpredictable in their attacking options even more.
Knowing their owners, they'll probably splash the whole 75m on him, not even because the player is worth that much, it's because they can and they don't give one.
