Manchester United could swoop for Arsenal midfielder Mesut Ozil because executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward reportedly desires the German.
According to Charlotte Duncker of the Manchester Evening News (h/t the Daily Express' Jack Otway), the Red Devils supremo could be ready to trigger an approach for the former Real Madrid star as he considers his club's transfer options in January.
Ozil worked with United manager Jose Mourinho at Los Blancos, and the pair formed a strong working relationship in the Spanish capital.
Woodward sanctioned the deal to sign Alexis Sanchez from the Gunners 12 months ago, and the United chief could once again raid the north London club in a defiant show of strength.
