| Marko Arnautovic in action during Austria-Russia friendly Mourinho scouted Chelsea target |
Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho scouted CSKA Moscow star Aleksandr Golovin during Russia’s friendly with Austria on Wednesday night.
Mourinho was spotted in the stands in Innsbruck to watch Austria’s 1-0 win against the World Cup hosts. United have been heavily linked with a move for West Ham forward Marko Arnautovic and it was assumed that Mourinho’s scouting trip was purposely to watch the Austrian. However, Gianluca Di Marzio claims Mourinho was there to watch Russian midfielder Golovin as he ponders a move for the 22-year-old.
Chelsea watched Golovin a number of times last season and the midfielder scored an exquisite free-kick against Arsenal in the Europa League in March.
United are also keen on signing Brazilian midfielder Fred but Mourinho has admitted he will buy a second midfielder if Marouane Fellaini decides to leave the club.
