Mesut Ozil sends Arsene Wenger birthday message amid Arsenal woes under Unai Emery

Mesut Ozil has sent a birthday message to former Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger – less than a day after being snubbed by Unai Emery again.

The German was left out Emery’s matchday squad for the visit to Sheffield United on Monday night, the fourth time in a row that his Spanish manager has decided to axe him.

The tactical decision didn’t pay off though, as the Gunners endured a disappointing evening and ultimately suffered a 1-0 defeat to the relegation candidates.

And in another twist to this somewhat unsavoury saga, Ozil has taken to Instagram to wish Emery’s predecessor Wenger a happy 70th birthday.
