Pals say Arsenal ace Ozil 'angry' over Man Utd claims

Posted Saturday, October 21, 2017 by Tribalfootball.com

Arsenal midfielder Mesut Ozil is angry over claims he's trying to engineer himself a move to Manchester United.

Ozil has grown increasingly angry at flak being fired his way.

A close friend of Ozil told The Sun: “Mesut has not had any contract offer from Arsenal. There were talks about a modest pay rise last season but all those talks ended in March. There's been nothing since then.

"At the time there was uncertainty over Arsene Wenger's future so the conversations stopped.

"He has not been offered £300,000 a week — in fact, he has no offers on the table from Arsenal or any other club.

"And he is not seeking to become the highest-paid player in the Premier League. That's not his aim."

The friend continued: “Mesut is adamant he has never spoken to any player about going to Manchester United.

"He has no idea if United want him but he wants to stay at Arsenal. Look, he just bought a new house in London.

"Mesut had been renting but he decided to buy a house because he both expects and wants to stay.

"But he is angry that people are briefing against him and feels there seems to be some sort of campaign against him. His intention has always been to remain at Arsenal.

"Mesut, though, does feel he is being isolated and kept in the dark. He is worried that there is a game going on and he is left in the middle of it.
