Mata to be sold for Ozil?
05:30: Jose Mourinho could sell Juan Mata in order to pave the way for Mesut Ozil’s arrival at Manchester United.
“I can’t believe Mourinho actually ever got on with him at Real Madrid, but he was highly thought of,” James Robson told the Manchester Evening News podcast.
“He’s also been very good, but as seasons have gone by, it’s become a thing he’s gone missing.
“For the majority of his time, he’s been one of the few genuinely world-class players around the Premier League.
“If he’s free that changes everything.
“Maybe you could sell Juan Mata.
“I don’t see how you could have Mata, Mkhitaryan and Ozil in the same team.
“He’s sold Mata once before so maybe if he got Ozil, he’d sell him again.
“If he signed Ozil, someone would have to go. Mkhitarayan is in Mourinho’s mind.
“I’m looking at where the gap and if you sell Mata for around £40m, he would make him £40m.”
