There are claims he could make his first appearance of 2019 in Fridays FA Cup clash against Manchester United on talkSPORT, and the player has also hinted on social media that he could be involved in the game.But it is clear the playmaker has lost his mojo this season, having managed just four goals and two assists.And Lehmann believes his compatriot needs to do a very un-German thing, and ask his manager for help to get him out of this rut.Our Germany mentality is sometimes different, the Invincibles goalkeeper told the Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast.We dont ask our managers or coaches to put an arm around us. If you have a problem on the pitch, youre expected to sort it out yourself.Mesut Ozil with fellow German and Arsenal legend Jens Lehmann2
