Mesut Ozil favours a move to Manchester United over Barcelona should he leave Arsenal in the coming months.
Arsene Wenger confirmed this week that the Gunners are still negotiating with Ozil, whose contract runs down at the end of this season.
A new deal worth £235,000 a week has already been turned down, with the Germany international making it plain to friends he is eyeing a switch to United.
Ozil wants closer to £300,000 and Jose Mourinho has been watching his situation closely as the United boss plans an overhaul at Old Trafford.
