Arsenal are yet to agree a new deal with Ozil and he looks increasingly likely to become a free agent next summer.
The playmaker is apparently open to staying at Arsenal for £200,000-a-week wages but could earn even more than that if he moves away from the Emirates.
Ozil is said to be keen on a return to Real Madrid, with Barcelona also a possible destination.
But if he stays in England, the 29-year-old will only consider joining United.
Ozil remains close to former Bernabeu boss Jose Mourinho and believes he has a great chance of landing a major trophy under the Special One.
A source told the MEN: “I know he is always in contact with Mourinho because he likes him. He thinks he is the best coach he ever played for. He has a special relationship with him.”
Unfortunately for Ozil thought, the report adds that United are yet to formally register their interest in him.
There’s also no chance Arsenal would sell to a direct rival midway through the season, meaning any chance of an Old Trafford switch would have to wait until the summer.
