Reports have emerged today linking Arsenal’s Mesut Ozil with a move to Manchester United, and both sets of fans have reacted as expected on Twitter
The German has yet to sign a contract extension at Arsenal, although Arsene Wenger has spoken in recent weeks about how he hopes Ozil will do just that and cement a legacy similar to that of Dennis Bergkamp’s.
However, reports today claim that Jose Mourinho – who once called Ozil the best No.10 in the world – is keeping an eye on his contract situation.
Manchester United and Arsenal fans took to Twitter to voice their opinions, as is the norm these days.
Most Manchester United fans were skeptical, although some were hopeful :
@SaneletheGreat @ManUtd can't seeing us getting both Ozil and Griezmann, Griezmann is most likely and sounds like he wants to come

@sagheerosman inspite of Ozil once saying that he consider Jose as a father figure i doubt this transfer will ever happen.

Wenger wouldn't give us Debuchy on loan for 6 months but people think there's a possibility of signing Ozil…

Arsenal fans were skeptical too, and mocked United fans who believed the transfer would go through :
@ffsAbdi Bellerin committing, Sanchez and Ozil to follow soon. Wishful thinking by Utd tbh
