in relation to Ozil

"United are taken aback, for example, by the latest suggestion they challenged Arsenal for Mesut Ozil. The truth is that United and Manchester City were both offered the player three weeks ago. United turned it down because they had already made up their mind that Wayne Rooney would not be leaving and they did not want to break their transfer record, paying upwards of £40m, for someone who plays in the same position."

Corny Im not going to knock you for reading the Guardian, I read this last night and was just left thinking - who the fuck is this guy? Does he work on the strategy/transfer team at united and Citeh? There are zero direct quotes but he talks as if he knows everything for fact. Stinks of shit to me!

Although, plenty of it is probably correct - I do not think Ozil was being offered around like a mini topic bar.
