Premier League club Manchester United is all set to launch a 30 million pounds bid for Real Madrid's Mesut Ozil, after the German midfielder was made available by the Spanish giants.

According to The Daily Star, Moyes has turned to Ozil after failing to lure Cesc Fabregas from Barcelona, as the Scot is keen to land a creative midfielder before the transfer window closes.

Moyes wants a marquee signing to show the doubters United can still make some big signings, the report said.

Real bosses value Ozil closer to 40 million pounds but are keen to offload him to make way for Bale, the report added.
