Manchester United could do with Mesut Ozil of Arsenal, says Paul Scholes.
Arsenal and Manchester United fans have taken to Twitter to give their reaction to Paul Scholes’s comments about Mesut Ozil.
United legend Scholes has told BT Sport that the Red Devils could do with German attacking midfielder Ozil, who is struggling for playing time at Arsenal at the moment.
According to WhoScored, the 31-year-old has played just 71 minutes in the Premier League for the Gunners so far this season.
During the 2018-19 campaign, the former Real Madrid star made 20 starts and four substitute appearances in the league for Arsenal, scoring five goals and providing two assists in the process, according to WhoScored.
Ozil made eight starts and two substitute appearances in the Europa League for the North London outfit last season, scoring one goal and providing one assist in the process, according to WhoScored.
United are not playing well at the moment and are lacking creativity, and Scholes believes that the German would be a good signing for the Red Devils.
The former England international midfielder told BT Sport, as transcribed by The Daily Mail: “I can’t understand that (Ozil’s situation at Arsenal). I think he’s a player that can link a team together.
“I think he’s got great quality, he’s shown that in his career, he could be an answer short term, I don’t know. I think that would be up to him. I can’t see it happening but I think he is a player that United could do with right now.”
Arsenal and United fans have taken to Twitter to give their reaction to Scholes’s suggestion regarding Ozil.
