United’s chances of signing Ozil dented

(16-08-2010) Manchester United’s chances of signing German playmaker Mesut Ozil took a knock on Saturday after the Werder Bremen midfielder claimed it was his “dream” to play for Real Madrid. The 21-year-old is one of the most sought after players in Europe after impressing at the recent World Cup, with both Real and United chasing his signature. Werder are prepared to listen to offers for him as he only has 12 months left to run on his current contract. "When you have such an opportunity to play for Real, then you want to take it," said Ozil. "It is any footballer's dream to play for the biggest teams in Europe."
