Manchester United are reportedly keen on signing the Arsenal man.
According to a report from the Express, Jose Mourinho wants to sign Arsenal’s Mesut Ozil for Manchester United in January, with the German currently struggling to fit into Unai Emery’s system at the Emirates.
The 29-year-old joined the Gunners from Real Madrid in the summer of 2013, for a fee believed to be worth in the region of £42.5 million, and he has since gone on to rack up 31 goals and 71 assists in 200 appearances in all competitions.
Ozil has received heavy criticism from some sections of the Arsenal fanbase for his questionable commitment to the cause, however, and he is often ineffective in big games.
That hasn’t stopped Mourinho from wanting to bring him to Manchester United, though, according to a report from the Express.
The British tabloid claims that Mourinho is a big fan of the German, and is closely monitoring his situation in north London.
It remains unclear as to whether Arsenal would be willing to sell their highest paid player, however.
