Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson is ready to turn his attentions to Mesut Ozil.
The Daily Express says Ferguson is ready to make a £25million swoop for Germany's Ozil after Wesley Sneijder announced he wants to stay with Inter Milan.
Manchester United boss Ferguson is looking for a playmaker to replace veteran Paul Scholes, who has suggested next season could be his last.
Ozil fits the bill with his superb skill, passing ability and shooting power. Ferguson was tracking Ozil, 21, before his World Cup exploits for Germany shot him to prominence.
Werder Bremen are resigned to losing Ozil, who has a year left on his contract, with the player tempted by a move to the Premier League.
