Ahead of Arsenal's trip to Goodison Park this afternoon, playmaker Mesut Ozil has sent a clear message on Twitter amid rumours of a move to Manchester United.
Earlier this week The Mirror's chief football writer John Cross claimed that Ozil is so confident of a move to Old Trafford, that he's informed colleagues that he expects to join Jose Mourinho's side.
Ozil would be available on a free transfer in the summer window, and in recent days, it feels like Old Trafford would appear to be his most likely destination.
The German international has been stalling on a new contract at the Emirates and Arsene Wenger even admitted that he could be on the move when January rolls around.

Well, hours before kick-off at Goodison, the man himself took to Twitter and informed his following to 'Ignore the noise and stay focused."
This isn't the first time Ozil has been linked with a move to Old Trafford.
In 2010, when Ozil was making waves at Werder Bremen, Sir Alex Ferguson is said to have scouted the playmaker on a number of occasions.

However, a 21-year old Ozil, fresh from a sterling World Cup campaign in South Africa, signed for Real Madrid in a €15 million move.
There was a suggestion that Wayne Rooney had urged Ferguson to try and sign Ozil, having seen his mercurial talents in the flesh during Germany's 4-1 drubbing of England in Bloemfontein.
In addition, it's also been mentioned by United fanzine Red Issue that United passed up on the chance to sign him because he was "too left-footed".
The question is, would Mesut Ozil be the right man to try and help Manchester United to another Premier League title?

Or should he stay at Arsenal?
