Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has hailed a superb display from Mesut Ozil versus Everton whilst downplaying rumours linking him with a potential move to Manchester United.
Earlier this week, it was suggested that Ozil could push for a reunion with Jose Mourinho at Manchester United after having signalled his intention to his fellow teammates.
However, Wenger has rubbished the speculation by citing that it is difficult to believe that the German wants to leave the Emirates after producing a standout performance versus Everton.
"We live in an environment where we have to deal with the news and the players and myself have only always one response, which is what's happening on the football pitch," Wenger told Sky Sports.
"When you see Mesut on the football pitch like he is today, enjoying his game like he is today, it's difficult to believe these kind of things."
 "He was superb. Agile, quick, intelligent. Always at the service of the team with his quality of his passing and when he is at that level, he is an exceptional football player."
The attacker told the fans to 'ignore the noise' via his official Twitter account - earlier on Saturday, and he has since silenced his critics with a goal and assist in the 5-2 thumping of Everton at Goodison Park.
Ozil is likely to be rested on Tuesday night when Arsenal entertain Norwich City in the fourth round of the League Cup. The Gunners secured a hard-fought 1-0 triumph over Doncaster Rovers in the previous round.
