Man United boss Jose Mourinho aware of Arsenal contract-rebel’s problem with Arsene Wenger, plotting summer move

Manchester United are aware of a rift between Germany international Mesut Ozil and Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger, according to the Spanish outlet Don Balon.

Per the source, United boss Jose Mourinho is keen on a move for Ozil next summer. The report states that the Portuguese tactician is aware that Ozil is looking to leave the Gunners so he can play under someone other than Wenger.

Don Balon goes onto say that Ozil’s reason to leave Arsenal is down to his relationship with the Gunners manager.

Ozil has been sidelined with a knee injury in recent weeks. The 28-year-old missed the Gunners 2-0 victory over newly promoted Brighton over the weekend.

The former Real Madrid man was also omitted from the Joachim Low’s Germany international squad for their upcoming World Cup qualification clashes.

Ozil has however returned to training and is expected to be fit in time for Arsenal’s trip to Vicarage Road to take on Watford FC on October 14.
