The United manager was pictured in Innsbruck's Tivoli-Neu stadium, taking in Austria's friendly with World Cup hosts, Russia.
Arnautovic started the game but, according to Gianluca DiMarzio, wasn't the only player Mourinho was running the rule over. Russia's Aleksandr Golovin, who played against United for CSKA Moscow during the group stages of this season's Champions League, was also being assessed by Mourinho.
