That is the verdict of former West Ham goalkeeper turned pundit Shaka Hislop.
Arnautovic has been linked with a move to Manchester United in recent days.
The Austria international only joined West Ham last summer and initially struggled at the London Stadium.
But he starred under David Moyes once the Scot took over as manager in November.
In all seriousness, I like Arnautovic a lot, but I just don’t see him going to Manchester United
Being a former Hammer, Hislop joked no one would leave West Ham for United.
But he then admitted Arnautovic would not get much playing time if he did make the move up north.
“Who would leave West Ham for Man United?,” Hislop told ESPN FC.
“Who would leave Pellegrini for Jose Mourinho? Nobody, nobody.

“He’s playing a big part at West Ham, I just see him as a bit-part player if he goes to Old Trafford.
“It doesn’t make sense to me.”
