It's been a rather quiet summer for Man Utd and you'd think there would be some big movements in and out of Old Trafford after losing the league title to Chelsea last season. Yes, they have signed on Mexican star Javier Hernandez but that barely seems like enough for the Devils.
Enter Mesut Ozil.
The latest rumours in the English gossip rags and cyberspace is that Sir Alex is lining up a stunning bid for Germany's World Cup star, Mesut Ozil. The 21-year-old sensation was certainly one of the biggest stories in this World Cup and he has expectedly begun attracting the attention of the big boys.
So far, the Werder Bremen playmaker has been linked with moves to Man Utd, Spurs and Arsenal (wouldn't he fit right in with that squad?) and of course, Real Madrid. The only difference this time, which incidentally gives the Premiership boys a chance, is that Madrid aren't keen on signing him this season but next season when his contract at Werder Bremen ends and he can leave as a free agent. I don't know what to make of this rumour but if true, it would indicate a serious financial problem at the Bernabeu.
But should Ozil ignore Madrid, and there are a few reasons to back this theory (1. He seems pretty intelligent), and choose a move to the Devils, Ferguson would finally be able to fill in the void left by Cristiano Ronaldo two seasons ago. Additionally, should Wayne Rooney's lacklustre form in front of goal continue, Ferguson is going to need some serious firepower to fill in and no one in his side currently qualifies for that position. Yes, this would certainly be a good move for United.
On the other hand, if the rumours are true and funds are limited at Old Trafford, Arsene Wenger should go against his norm and sign on the midfielder. Ozil's got creativity, skill, good passing and shooting abilities and speed; the kind of stuff Wenger's Arsenal thrive on.
