Manchester United have reportedly had a bid for Bologna forward Marko Arnautovic rejected.
The Red Devils have signed Lisandro Martinez, Tyrell Malacia and Christian Eriksen this summer, but they are yet to strengthen in the final third.
A recent report stated that Arnautovic had emerged as a surprise target for the Red Devils, who reportedly submitted a bid for the striker.
According to Sky Sports News, the Serie A club have rejected the offer from the Red Devils that is believed to be in the region of €9m (£7.6m).
Following the 2-1 defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion in his first competitive match in charge, Erik ten Hag was asked by reporters about the club's interest in Arnautovic.
"I don't go into names because I think in this pre-season 250 players are involved or linked with Manchester United, so that's it," the Dutchman stated.
"We have two strikers, maybe a third one, with Marcus Rashford as well. We considered him as a striker but he had a really good pre-season on the left side and today he had two really good chances coming in from the left side.
"So I think it was the right decision to do it like this. But the typical No 9 wasn't available today."
