Manchester United Boss Jose Mourinho Keen to Seal Cut Price Deal for Arsenal Contract Rebel

​Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho is hoping to take advantage of the uncertainty surrounding Mesut Ozil's future and sign the player for a cut-price fee this summer.

Reports in the Mirror suggest that the Red Devils' boss is keen to reunite with the German midfielder, having managed him whilst at Real Madrid. 

The Arsenal star has yet to agree terms over a new deal and with just over 12 months left on his current contract, Ozil could well be sold by the Gunners this summer so as to avoid losing him for free at the end of next season. 

Arsene Wenger has insisted that he would be prepared for such a scenario to occur, however, considering Arsenal's past when it comes to players running their contracts down, the Frenchman may find himself in a losing battle with the club's hierarchy, who would rather cash in on their man over losing him for free in a year's time. 

Though undoubtedly a top player at the Emirates, Ozil is unlikely to have an unreasonable price tag if he fails to sign a new deal at the end of the season, so Mourinho is hoping to capitalise on that possible scenario and bring him to Old Trafford.

The United boss is expected to be on the lookout for attacking players during the upcoming transfer window, as he looks to solve his team's problems in front of goal. Out of the current top seven teams in the Premier League, the Red Devils have scored the fewest amount of goals (46), with the next closest being Everton, who have scored 11 more.
