West Ham United forward Marko Arnautovic has allegedly emerged as a transfer target for Manchester United.

Arnautovic has just completed his first season at the London Stadium, with the Austrian international's 11 goals and six assists from 31 appearances helping the Hammers remain in the Premier League.

The 29-year-old is regarded as West Ham's most prized asset but according to Sky Sports News, Man United are preparing an official offer for the former Stoke City man ahead of next season.

The report claims that West Ham do not want to sell Arnautovic and it would take a bid in the region of £50m for the club to consider selling the versatile attacker.

Arnautovic still has four years remaining on his contract and new boss Manuel Pellegrini is likely to want to build a team around the player next season.
