StevO Posted July 19, 2016 Report Share Posted July 19, 2016 He still has players coming back from euros and if he's he's been playing and is fit they will keep his value up. Just a guess anyway. EFC-Paul 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EFC-Paul Posted July 19, 2016 Report Share Posted July 19, 2016 If Mourinho wanted to force a move surely he wouldn't play him pre-season? Basically what Steve said, play the man in friendlies he does well it keeps people interested plus his fitness levels up If it were any other manager I'd forget about it happening and him leaving but Mourinho won't let his ego get bruised and go back on the way he hung the guy out to dry publicly at Chelsea and all the media spin that came from it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mogsy Posted July 20, 2016 Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 Apparently he's been told he'll play every 3 games so we'll see To be honest I can see this, he'll be given a couple off games to see where he's at and I'd put money on him being a deadline day transfer!!

Lowensda Posted July 20, 2016 Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 Mourinho WILL want him to prove him wrong. If Mata shows him what he could be missing, he'll stay at United. Mourinho was blasted for letting him go the first time. Letting him go twice and watching him prosper would hurt his rep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trigger Posted July 20, 2016 Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 Out of all the players we've been lnked with, this is the one I want the most. He'd make an excellent number 10 and it means Ross can move back in to a more central midfield role (which is where I think he is best).

Mourinho was blasted for letting him go the first time. Letting him go twice and watching him prosper would hurt his rep. Disagree, all the signs over the years have never indicated Mourinho to be a man who will go back on his judgement and certainly to be proven wrong. His character interviews etc all suggest the complete opposite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevO Posted July 20, 2016 Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 He'll play every three? That's only about 20 games in a season, no good for him that. Can't take into account other players form either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

London Blue Posted July 21, 2016 Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 To be fair it does not say he wont be sold, only that if Mata can accept playing as part of a squad there is a place for him. I still think this will happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoof_It_Nev Posted July 22, 2016 Report Share Posted July 22, 2016 Midfielder Juan Mata's position has also come under scrutiny as Mourinho sold the Spaniard to Manchester United for £37.1m in 2014. But Mourinho says "there is a space for Juan" in the team and that he must "fight for a place". He added: "First of all, I think maybe all of you misunderstood what happened in our previous club because I never told Mata to leave. I never pressed the club to sell him. "It was his decision and only his decision and I don't like players that want to leave. If the player doesn't want to be with us, goodbye - be happy where you want to go. "But, to be fair, I think he is happy and I am not expecting him to ask to leave." http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/36857733 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
