Die Fans von Manchester United hatten keinen einfachen Sonntag. Der Start in die neue Saison der Premier League ging mit einer 1:2-Heimniederlage gegen Brighton ordentlich in die Hose. Spielbericht >>>
Die Laune der Anhängerschaft war also schon richtig schlecht, als das Gerücht, wonach der FC Bologna ein Angebot ihres Klubs für Marko Arnautovic abgelehnt habe, die Runde machte.
Das ist der Stand der Dinge zwischen Arnautovic und Manchester United >>>
Die Reaktionen der Fans der "Red Devils" im Netz lassen darauf schließen, dass der ÖFB-Star nicht unbedingt der Neuzugang ist, den sich die meisten von ihnen vorstellen.
Einige Fans könnten sich mit Arnautovic als Neuzugang anfreunden, der Großteil steht dem Wiener aber eher negativ gegenüber. Das hat einerseits mit dem fortgeschrittenen Alter des 33-Jährigen zu tun, andererseits wohl auch schlicht mit der Erwartungshaltung, was Neuzugänge angeht.
LAOLA1 hat sich bei "Twitter" umgesehen und zeichnet ein Stimmungsbild:
Man City sign Haaland.

Liverpool sign Nunez.
Chelsea sign Sterling.
Arsenal sign Jesus.
Man United are in for Marco Arnautovic.
Replacing CR7 a Lamborghini.

With Arnautovic a Ford fiesta
Freaking joke man.
Surely they can find a better replacement, and get more money for a better player than 8m they bid for him FFS. https://t.co/Te46I9kPgp
If #Arnautovic is the answer then I have no idea what the question was…. #mufc

This would rank as one of the worse ever buys…
Nunez goal and assist, Haaland draws a penalty and scores. United forced to play with a false 9 keeping Eriksen out of midfield, and considering a bid for Arnautovic. Alright.

We shouldn’t want Arnautovic at his absolute peak, let alone now, as a 33-year-old, when he’s asked for a three year deal This club is finished.

I can’t get behind potentially signing Arnautovic. It’s just bullshit. We want him because he’s cheap, simple as that.

It’s supposed to be a summer where we begin a ‘rebuild’ and there’s talk of signing a 33 year old that has won nothing? Give me a break.

Manchester United view Marko Arnautovic as a pragmatic, short-term option to support the starting forwards and an ideal character for a dressing room still struggling for self-belief after last season. @samuelluckhurst #MUFC
I do like Arnautović. But why are we trying to buy another striker well into their 30’s. I mean that’s hardly planning for the future is it. #MUFC

I quite like Arnautovic when he was at Stoke. Bloody decent for Austria too. Problem is we’ve already got a striker in his 30’s with an attitude problem. Also it looks a tad desperate considering we’ve only a few weeks left of the window left.
— Chris (@BoughtonRed) August 7, 2022
I rate Arnautovic but I don’t rate him enough for United. Plus he’s old and injury prone.
— Ezra M (@ezra_mogotsi) August 7, 2022
Am I the only one who rates Arnautovic was very good at Bologna last year and there is clearly no money left in the pot so
— Nick Valerio (@NickValerio) August 7, 2022
Ten Hag's two transfer recommendations were by far out best players today. If he genuinely feels Arnautovic can add something then why not?
