MANCHESTER UNITED made a late dash to try to sign
Arsenal star Mesut Ozil, it has been revealed.
United
were chasing a number of targets on deadline day in the summer window,
including Ander Herrera but were foiled.
They
ended up getting Everton midfielder Marouane Fellaini, although had to stump up
£27.5million.
United
had showed interest in Ozil in the summer, but dithered over lodging a bid for
the 24-year-old who joined Arsenal for £42.4m.
The Red
Devils have tried to play this down but a source close to the club, said:
"United made a call.
Kenny
Moyes, David's brother who is an agent, was trying desperately to get hold of
Ozil's agent

"Kenny
Moyes, David's brother who is an agent, was trying desperately to get hold of
Ozil's agent.
"I
think that by the time they managed it it was too late."
Ozil has
gone on to make a flying start with the Gunners, who currently top the Premier
League.
Is this
further proof that Marouane Fellaini was a last resort? Leave your
