These 2 midfielders would be perfect for Manchester United in January

Mesut Ozil

Can you imagine the uproar if Arsenal were to sell Mesut Ozil to Manchester United, especially after what happened with Robin van Persie?

It’s not entirely out of the question, as the German international has still yet to agree a new and improved deal at the Emirates, a contract saga that has been running for a few months now.

He has said that he will only sign if manager Arsene Wenger extends his stay at the club and, given that the Frenchman will likely wait until the end of the season to make a decision, there will be an uncertain few months for Arsenal fans in the near future.

And, given how well Ozil played under Mourinho at Real Madrid, and how highly the Portuguese rates the midfielder, there is every chance that he could bring him to Old Trafford.

Ozil has three-and-a-half years’ experience of Premier League football under his belt, with this current campaign his best to date, so it wouldn’t be too much of a risk, yet it could ultimately end in rich reward for United over the next few years.
