Premier League club slap ‘ridiculous’ price on player to chase away Man United

West Ham have slapped a £60million valuation on Marko Arnautovic with Manchester United still circling.

The Austrian has emerged as a shock target for Jose Mourinho over the past fortnight after an impressive second half of his debut season at the London Stadium.

Signed from Stoke last summer for £24million, Arnautovic netted 11 times in 22 games times between December and May.

West Ham’s official position is that the 29-year-old is not for sale.

But with United yet to end their interest the Hammers are bracing themselves for a bid and will be determined not to allow their star man to leave on the cheap.

Mourinho was in attendance as Austria beat Russia in a friendly international last week, as Arnautovic teed up the only goal in Innsbruck.
