Manchester United 'are now considering a shock swoop for 35-year-old Jamie Vardy' after ending their pursuit of Marko Arnautovic due to a fan backlash as Erik ten Hag's desperately searches for a new striker

Manchester United are considering shock move for Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy as Erik ten Hag continues his search for attacking reinforcements.

United sit bottom of the Premier League with a goal difference of minus five after two defeats from their opening two fixtures including Saturday's 4-0 drubbing at Brentford.

Ten Hag's men have scored just one league goal - and that was an own goal - pointing to a lack of firepower in the Dutchman's squad and now, 35-year-old Vardy has emerged as a target according to The Athletic.
