MESUT OZIL fuelled further speculation that he wants a move to Manchester United after he made a beeline to the Red Devils bench following Arsenal's 3-1 defeat.
The German international has been linked with a reunion alongside Jose Mourinhoonce his contract expires in the summer.
Mourinho and Ozil worked together at Real Madrid and the Portuguese boss has already refused to rule out a move for the playmaker.
And it appears the feeling could be mutual after the 29-year-old went to embrace United's backroom staff when walking off the field.
At the full-time whistle, Ozil shared a quiet word with United attacker Anthony Martial.
One fan in the crowd then recorded Ozil heading straight over to United's bench whilst his Arsenal team-mates darted for the dressing room. Reports from Spain claim that Barcelona have thrown their hat in the ring to sign Ozil on a free.
Clubs in Europe can hold talks with Ozil in January and agree a pre-contract over a move in the following summer. But United remain favourites for his signature and Mourinho was asked about the potential of signing him before the clash at the Emirates. A smiling Mourinho replied: "No comment."
He added: "That’s football. They finish their contracts.
"Sometimes players decide to go in this direction, which is the right that they have."
