Mesut Ozil is back on Manchester United’s radar after reports the
playmaker is considering his future at Real Madrid. The German
international, 24, joined Real from Werder Bremen in a blaze of glory
two years ago. But he is no longer a first choice under Jose Mourinho
following the arrival of Luka Modric and sources insist he is growing
increasingly unhappy. United chief Alex Ferguson has asked to be kept
informed of any developments and would be at the front of the queue if
Real decide to sell. Fergie is hunting a successor to 38-year-old Paul
Scholes, who looks set to retire for the second time at the end of the
season. If Real do choose to offload Ozil, the Spaniards would want
double the £12million they paid Bremen. But United still have money to
spend after missing out on Eden Hazard and Lucas Moura in the summer.
Ozil earns £110,000 a week at the Bernabeu, which fits comfortably into
the Old Trafford pay structure, as does his age in terms of sell-on
value.
