Alan Shearer has claimed that someone at Manchester United leaked the club’s interest in unpopular forward Marko Arnautovic.Shortly after United lost their opening game of the season to Brighton last Sunday, reports emerged that the Red Devils were attempting to sign Arnautovic from Bologna.The 33-year-old is well-known in England from his stints at Stoke and West Ham, and while a decent player on his day, he has been a figure of controversy throughout his career and that combined with his age meant that when the news broke there was significant backlash from fans and pundits.Just a couple of days later it was confirmed that United were dropping their interest in the Austrian international, but the damage had already been done.Premier League legend Shearer has viewed the whole debacle as yet more proof that United are a terribly run club, going as far as to suggest that someone at Old Trafford had orchestrated the whole thing.‘I’m convinced that someone from Man United leaked the story linking them with Arnautovic just to see what the reaction was,’ he said on Match of the Day.‘The reaction was that bad they then had to pull out, I’m pretty convinced that that was the case.‘But I think that sums up where Manchester United are: They are a mess.‘It’s going to take time and it’s going to take an unbelievable amount of money to get things right inside and out of the football club and in terms of the right recruitment and it’s going to take a lot of patience from the Manchester United fans because where they are now to where they want to be is miles away.’Xavi gives Frenkie de Jong update after Barca star 'tells team-mates he's joining Man Utd'Frenkie de Jong reveals to Barcelona teammates he is now likely to join Man UtdJami
