„Manchester United“ continues to strengthen its lineup as the transfer window comes to a close, looking for alternatives in attack and for Frenkie de Jong, whose acquisition is becoming more difficult. „The Athletic“ journalist David Ornstein reports that the „Red Devils“ are trying to purchase Juventus midfielder Adrien Rabiot. It is still unclear whether „Man Utd“ will go ahead with this move regardless of F. de Jong's decision, or if the Dutchman's decision will have an impact. The 27-year-old Frenchman has only one year left on his contract with Juventus. „The Athletic“ also reported yesterday that the Manchester club is interested in Bologna forward Marko Arnautovic. The first offer of 8 million euros for the player was rejected by the Bologna team. Team coach Erik ten Hag and assistant Steve McLaren have worked with the Austrian at „Twente“ team for over a decade. Since then, the forward has played for „Stoke City“, „West Ham“, „Porto“, „Inter“, and „Werder Bremen“ clubs. M. Arnautovic is seen by the new „Man Utd“ coach as a good rotation option. The 33-year-old player is valued for his character traits and good physical condition.
