3 reasons why Mesut Ozil should choose Man City over Man United

Long-term project under Guardiola

Pep Guardiola is embarking on what looks like a long-term project at Manchester City, and that would enough to persuade any player to be a part of it.

You get the sense that he is going to be given time to implement his style and management techniques at the Etihad, while Mourinho’s recent shelf-life has been three years at a push.

City may not win anything this year under Guardiola, but it’d be hugely surprising if they relieved him of his duties. He signed a three-year deal, and is likely to at least see that out.

City are going through a period of rebuilding under their new boss and, come the end of the season, Ozil may see enough progress to want a move to the North West.
