United jump the gun as Ozil listed on official website

THE chase to sign Mesut Ozil took a bizarre twist yesterday when a player profile of the Werder Bremen star appeared on Manchester United’s official website.

Ozil has been linked with a move to United after emerging as one the stars of the World Cup.

Speculation has grown that the 21-year-old, who is also on Barcelona and Chelsea’s radar, is set for a move to United in recent days after Alex Ferguson ran the rule over him in Bremen’s friendly with Fulham last weekend.
