That is the opinion of Sky Sports pundit and former Arsenal striker Alan Smith.

Ozil is out of contract at the end of the season and is free to talk to foreign clubs in the January transfer window.

Barcelona have been linked with a move for the Germany international, as have Manchester United.

However, Gunners boss Arsene Wenger claimed this morning United have not been in contact over signing Ozil.

Ozil and Mourinho were together at Real Madrid between 2010 and 2013, with Ozil revealing in his book earlier this year about one dressing room spat in particular where the pair clashed at half time of a game.

With that in mind, Smith cannot see him moving to Old Trafford anytime soon.

“Yeah reportedly (Manchester United want him), I just can’t see that link," Smith said.

“I might be totally wrong here but Mourinho and Ozil? 

“I know they were together at Real Madrid but Jose Mourinho really got stuck into him there didn’t he, after one match particularly saying ‘oh you think you’re better than everybody else, you don’t want to track back’. 

“These were his reported words and he doesn’t seem to me like a Mourinho player. 

“But we shall see on that one, who knows?”
