Out-of-favour Arsenal midfielder Mesut Ozil, 31, is open to a move to the MLS, with DC United linked with the former Germany international.

Arsenal manager Unai Emery will be given the next six games to prove he is still the man for the job at Emirates Stadium. (Standard) Quite frankly, I'm surprised he's been given that long.
Our Emery/ Poch one and the outstanding month you still owe me, glad you've finally admitted that there are two outstanding bets. Good man
