Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson is the
latest top boss to be impressed by Germany’s rising star Mesut
Ozil.
The 21-year-old attacking midfielder has been one of
the sensations of the World Cup and now his club, Werder Bremen,
face a fight to keep him.
Ozil’s zest and energy is just what Ferguson is looking
for as he looks to freshen up an ageing squad.
And he would come cheaper than the Old Trafford
manager’s original target, Inter Milan’s Wesley Sneijder, although
Werder Bremen are expected to ask at least £25million for the new
kid on the international block.
Ozil has already expressed a desire to play in the
Premier League.
He said: “To the top players the Premier League is
attractive.
“You look at what Manchester United and Chelsea have
achieved over the last five years.
“Trophies are what matters to me but these two teams
are always at the top.”
