The Germany World Cup star has been the subject of interest from Barcelona, Chelsea, Arsenal and Real Madrid but it seems as if Manchester United will be the club to open the bidding.

Odds on Ozil going to Old Trafford this summer have been slashed to 1/5 with SkyBet and Werder Bremen now look resigned to losing their man this summer.

The gifted playmaker would add much needed creativity to the United midfield as they seek to wrest the Premier League title back off Chelsea.

With just a year left on his contract, the Red Devils will hope to secure his signature for around £10m though his club are asking for closer to £15m.
