Manchester United want Arsenal star Mesut Ozil on a free transfer... but hold reservations about his work rate and his potential wage demands

Mesut Ozil has emerged as a shock transfer target for Manchester United.

The Arsenal midfielder is on Jose Mourinho's list of targets for next summer, when he will be available on a free transfer after his contract at the Emirates expires.

But there are reservations at Old Trafford about signing Ozil, primarily surrounding his work rate and the wages he would demand if he were to make the switch.
