Jose Mourinho is expected to splash the cash this summer and is tracking the West Ham striker.
The Portuguese boss even watched the Austrian in action for his country last week in a World Cup warm clash against Russia.
Mourinho has supposedly instructed Red Devils chiefs to sign a striker and Arnautovic is on his wishlist.
Along with Arnautovic, Fred is expected to join from Shakhtar Donetsk and he had a medical earlier today at the club’s Carrington base.
But when asked about the rumours linking him with a move to Old Trafford, Arnautovic appeared to be in the dark.

You can keep asking this question, you’ll never hear the answer from me
“It’s nice to hear. I’ve not heard anything from my brother, my agent,” the 25-year-old said when quizzed about the rumours.
“You can keep asking this question, you’ll never hear the answer from me.”
Arnautovic is thought to now be valued at around £50million which wouldn’t put off United.
With the speculation mounting over Arnautovic, ESPN pundit Shaka Hislop reckons the Hammers star would see his game dramatically decrease if he made the switch.
“Who would leave West Ham for Man United?,” Hislop said.
“Who would leave Pellegrini for Jose Mourinho? Nobody, nobody.
“In all seriousness, I like Arnautovic a lot, but I just don’t see him going to Manchester United.
“He’s playing a big part at West Ham, I just see him as a bit-part player if he goes to Old Trafford.
