I guess he isn't suited to the way Jose is making United play or Jose is asking him to play in a different way which he isn't enjoying.

Is it possible that he's been told to mind his back?
Yes, Ozil is not an improvement on Mkhi. If you would watch Arsenal the last two seasons you can see that he disappears in the big games as much if not more than Henrikh. If you are looking to replace Mkhi, then replace him with someone who is actually different and Ozil is not that player.
Pointless player, send him to AC Milan.
Ozil under Mourinho is a different player though. He is the type of player that responds well to tough love and that's what Jose shows him, hence him playing some excellent stuff under him. I have no doubts if Ozil signs here and has Pogba / Matic behind him he will be a good signing. He will 100% be an improvement on Mkhi and Lingard.
Not been in form for months. Even when he was assisting at start of the season, his game was ordinary.
Needs to be dropped for a spell. Not good enough currently

Ozil is miles better than miki you know with Ozil when he gets the ball he will play the right pass to the fowards and won't dwell on it and lose it after 2 secs like miki. Miki has no vision as a 10 even mata is better than him.
I still think he puts in a shift he’s a hard work good at pressing
He's been awful for a few weeks now, needs to be dropped. He's in his late twenties, it's not as if he's a young player just finding his way. There are most certainly better players out there who play his position.
I think he does the right things in training but loses his bearings during the actual match. I feel that is the reason he is selected again and again. I think it is a mental thing with him. He is a very good player. I don't think replacing him is the right solution.
I do agree that he must be benched but that means Lingard has to play and that is also not good for us. We must find a way to drop him and still keep performing decently. It will give him an opportunity to get things back together.

Well yes for every decent player you need a white one to balance it out
So, Kagawa didn't work out. We returned him to the Dortmund.
Miki isn't working out. So we should return him to Dortmund.
So, given the above, your grand plan is to get yet another Dortmund player?
At some point this obsession with Dortmund players has to end. They are not particularly good and not suitable for a team aspiring to win at the highest level.
That's something very interesting you stated.
Miki is fragile (ie. he doesn't like the physicality of the English game). Isn't Griezmann the same?
As someone in the unfortunate position of having to watching the useless fecknuckle ever week, I would respectfully disagree with that.
For most players, stats don't do the talent justice- guys like De Gea, Martial and Rashford are way better than what their stats suggest. For the other few players stats pretty much tell the player's entire contribution- Zlatan last year but very rarely do you see stats overrating a player's contribution to such a degree over such a prolonged period.
Lets be honest here apart from a couple of performances in EL last season , Mkhi has been poor. He scored a goal in the final in EL after having had a terrible 50 -55 odd minutes prior to that. Despite having 5-6 assists this season, his general gameplay has been poor. He wilts under pressure, is a liability defensively and his technique isn't up to mark. Evwn in the games where he did get the assists, I genuinely felt that even Mata offered much more than Mkhi due to his off the ball movement and the calmness he provided when in possession. It's similar to Rooney's performances in his final years here where he shinned the ball or kneed it and it somehow ended up in the back of the net. Eventually the luck runs out and we all know what happened to Rooney after that!

Get rid. Simple as.
Put him back on bench.. Not that difficult thing to do..
Maybe he needs time off to come back stronger or wither away.. Either ways, some time on bench wont hurt

Won't dwell on it? Funny you say that as he dwelled on it yesterday for Arsenal and took a weak shot instead of passing the ball immediately to a team mate in a better position.
You lot will turn on Ozil once he plays for you as quickly as snow melts in summertime.
He's useless he can't help it. The blame is firmly on Mourinho for continuing to pick him when he could easily pick someone else and change his tactics, but that seems to be too difficult for 'one of the best coaches around'.
I think jose will have made his mind up on him, he doesn't carry passengers. This run of poor games is him playing himself out of the team long term
He’s been gash lately, feck knows why, some say he’s missing Pogba but I can’t have that, he’s a professional footballer, he should be able to play to a level with or without certain players and I’m finding it a bit bizarre how Mourinho keeps picking him.
I think your right for the wrong reasons. Dortmund play a completely different game to us
Theres no reason to think what works for them will work for us, we have 2 pretty good examples for why it wont actually.
What really drives me nuts is when he's in a very good position to win the ball off an opponent because the opponent has miscontrolled the ball or lost balance, somehow he can't. Doesn't matter if it's 80-20 in his favour he'll never win the ball. Such a weak pussy player. Had enough of him
I recall Daniel Storey from football365 writing a piece on how well Mhiki was playing at the start of the season. In the back of my mind I couldn't help but think this wasn't going to last. Looking at last season as a whole, he below too hot and cold for me.
I can't accept that Pogba's absence is the reason for the awful form. Basic things like withholding possession and placing simple fecking passes have completely left him. What age is he, 28? If he doesn't have the mental capacity to dig in at this stage, he never will.
I'm praying he proves me wrong but I think Jose could be looking for another creative outlet to link defence to attack.

Suddenly I'm feeling Ozil might be worth a shot, and I never imagined writing that (at least not in the last few years.)
Picking Miki in my team predictions make me depressed, so I don't select him, even though I vividly know the manager is going to select him. I did rather get 10/11 and also lose the bonus points than to select Miki in the team. Seeing him in the team makes me wanna cry because he knows and we all know that he is going to be shit. So I can't pick a nothing player to play for us, and how the actual manager of Man utd and his coaches manages to pick him game after game, is only them that knows. I mean don't they rewatch the games or something? And do they like what they see? If they do, then I am sorry, but we have a bigger problem on our hands than Miki playing.
With the way how Mkhy has been playing. It won't surprise me if we get to see Matic Pogba Fellaini trio in midfield week in, week out.
Would like to see it tbh, could be great.
Every 10 gets dispossessed fella but none as much as the flop miki....we don't need to worry about the summertime as its winter all year round here in England.
That would be perfect!
I am not even a United supporter nor a Mkhi fan in particular, but without your flop and his assists earlier on this season you would be mid table now.
Is fourth mid table? Four of his five assists came in games we were already winning.
No, we wont. Loosing Pogba was disaster. No Mkhi, no worry.
Supposed to be tough bastard borned in high-spirit country. I always respect players from East Europe mostly due to their fighting spirit, but not this one. He did not even have a gut to confront one of the weakest (physically) Chelsea player, Fabregas.
Soft spirited shite players.
Works for me. Lukaku, Rashford and Martial as a front 3 ahead of them. I wonder if we’ll ever see that line-up?
Doesn't make sense does it? It can't be any more imbalanced than Mkhi as a 10 who offers nothing when we don't have the ball. Martial gets blasted for not tracking back but he does it a hell of a lot more and much more effectively than Mkhi.
I guess the only problem is that two out of the three CMs (Fellaini and Pogba) haven’t a defensive instinct between them. They’re so poor at tracking runners that if Rashford/Martial don’t work their balls off every time we lose the ball our defence will get overrun. No reason not to give it a crack in our next couple of games, mind you.
A line-up I’d like to see in a difficult away game would be Carrick and Matic at the base of midfield, with Pogba ahead of them and LuRaMa as front 3. Oodles of defensive cover and our best attacking players freed to do nothing but attack.
hahaha stick to looking at stats while we united fans watch the actual bloody games, in which he was bad most of the time and came up with an assist in games we were dominating no thanks to him. Pogba was the one making things happen yet oppo fans slate him if he's not on the stats sheet this is the problem with football these days.
Problem of Lukaku, Rashford and Martial in the same line up means no one will deliver consistent good cross to Lukaku and Fellaini.
No one does that now anyways tbf except Young occasionally and he can still do that from FB in this setup.
