It has to be noted that Juan Mata was sold from Chelsea to United under Mourinho’s reigns in January 2014 for $49 million.

There will be more to this story in the coming days when Giggs comes back from Dubai and has talks with Mourinho and the future at Old Trafford becomes a little clearer.
According to Spanish newspaper Sport, Blind’s agent, Rob Jansen, has offered his client around to other clubs since Mourinho’s arrival and Barcelona have been alerted to his availability.
Manchester United defender Daley Blind has vowed to fight for his place amid reports new manager Jose Mourinho is ready to offload the Netherlands worldwide.
Changes have been set in motion at Manchester United following the appointment of Jose Mourinho last week.
‘I’m looking forward to it’.
“I will just give my all and work hard”.
Do you think Mourinho and Guardiola will clash again, this time in the Premier League? “Here, if I focus on him or he on me, the champion will be another (manager)”. Unlike Blind, Mata has a bigger profile and more experience.
“For two years Pep and I were in a league where the champion would be either me or him, Real Madrid or Barcelona”, Mourinho told a group of football coaches in Lisbon on Tuesday.
“I’m sure that United’s fans and players will be delighted with that because, as I’ve said many times before, he’s the best manager I’ve worked under… If, in the English Premier League, I focus on him at Manchester City and he on me at Manchester United, another team will win the title”. And aside from that he is a coach who soaks up the pressure on the players, someone who prefers to take the heat so that his players can be relaxed.
