MANCHESTER UNITED are reportedly plotting a swoop for West Ham forward Marko Arnautovic.
The Austrian powerhouse, 29, has thrived since swapping Stoke for the London Stadium last summer.
And Sky Sports claims United are interested in a deal, with Hammers chiefs valuing their star at £50million.
Arnautovic joined West Ham for £25m and the club would turn a huge profit by letting him go.
But with four years remaining on the fan favourite’s deal, they are under no pressure to sell.
Jose Mourinho knows Arnautovic from his time at Inter Milan as the ace endured a frustrating loan spell.

And Milinkovic-Savic could leave Lazio after his side ended up in the Europa League following a final day defeat to Inter Milan.
Meanwhile, West Ham boss Manuel Pellegrini has his eyes on Barcelona defender Marlon Santos.
