Arsenal legend Ray Parlour doubts Mesut Ozil has a future at Arsenal after he was left out of Unai Emery’s squad for the draw with Manchester United.

The Gunners played out a disappointing 1-1 draw with their longtime Premier League rivals with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang rescuing a point for Emery’s side.

Ozil signed a new lucrative contract at Arsenal last year but has only featured in one Premier League fixture for the Gunners this season.

Asked about Emery snubbing Ozil, Arsenal legend Parlour told talkSPORT: ‘We don’t know what happens behind the scenes, we don’t know the atmosphere at training and we don’t know his attitude at training.

‘Maybe Emery is looking at it wanting a reaction and he’s not getting a reaction, so he’s saying, ‘I’m going to go with the youngsters instead’.

Mesut Ozil has started just one league game this season

‘He’s been brave by doing it because Ozil is a World Cup winner and he’s on a massive contract at Arsenal.

‘But he did probably need someone like Ozil last night to open the door for Aubameyang; he didn’t get a lot of service did he?

‘But Ozil… I don’t know what the future holds for him. I think that could be the last straw.’

Gooners, should Emery start playing Ozil? Or is the manager right to leave him out? Let us know in the comments…
