United join Arsenal in race for £42.5m Mesut Ozil
MANCHESTER UNITED are set to rival Arsenal for the signature of Real Madrid midfielder Mesut Ozil today.
Arsenal have submitted an offer of £42.5million for Ozil, who is available for transfer from Real as they look to recoup some of the world-record fee shelled out on Gareth Bale.
Bale's £85m switch to the Bernabeu appears to spell the end for Ozil's future in the Spanish capital, and the German international could be set for a move to United or Arsenal.
