I'm not sure what they need Mata for. Kagawa is already rotting away because Rooney occupies the same space. You could play him wide I suppose but not in the way United tend to use their wingers.
I do wonder whether these leaks are coming from Chelsea who are alerting other clubs to his availability and what kind of money they are after. From Chelsea's point of view makes no sense to sell him in January, they are still in three competitions and he is still a very handy player for them.
IF they do sell to Man Utd it does make me wonder about Mourinho, wouldn't loan us Ba who after 22 games has made 2 starts and 6 sub appearances in the league but happy to sell them Mata? Does he not see them as threats or the conspiracy theory doing the rounds is he has no use for Mata and will sell him in the summer anyway but he can cash in now and mug Man Utd and thinks he might help them take points of us and City. Or maybe there will be some agreement that they sell Rooney to Chelsea in the summer. Too much bullshit going round, always happens during this bloody transfer window!
