Arsenal legend fears Ozil’s move to Manchester United

Ian Wright is worried that Mesut Ozil will join Manchester United on a free transfer in the summer.

Ozil is out of contract at Arsenal in July, and is free to talk to foreign clubs in January.

United would officially have to wait until the summer to open negotiations due to Premier League rules, but Wright fears that the reported move will still go ahead.

“Mesut Ozil on a free to Manchester United on a free looks a shoo-in. I’m sure Jose would love to do that,” he told BBC Radio 5 Live.

“That would frighten me to death. He is a great talent and having great players around him would lift him up as well.

“I’m sure him and his agent would not push it this far if they were going to sign (for Arsenal).”
