<p><span style="font-size: 20px;">Erik ten Hag, the manager of United, has pushed the team to sign a seasoned forward who is fine playing off the bench as a backup.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 20px;">Ten Hag is an admirer of 33-year-old Arnautovic because they were together at FC Twente.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 20px;">Separate from Sesko&#8217;s move is the one for Arnautovic.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 20px;">Chelsea is also considering signing the 19-year-old, but Salzburg would prefer to hold onto him until next summer.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 20px;">After Sunday&#8217;s 2-1 loss to Brighton, Ten Hag was questioned about the need for new players.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 20px;">The Dutchman replied: “I don’t go into names and I think in this preseason, 250 players are involved or linked with Man United, so that’s it.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 20px;">“We have two strikers [Ronaldo and Martial], maybe a third one, [Marcus] Rashford.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 20px;">“We considered him as a striker, but he had a really good season on the left side and he had two really good chances but the typical nine wasn’t available today.&#8221;</span></p>
