Manchester United could sell Jadon Sancho to Chelsea this evening which has raised eyebrows with supporters who question the idea of strengthening a rival
During a transfer window, there is the school of thought that if you have to sell a player, for one reason or another, it makes the most sense to agree to a deal with a team that is not a direct rival.
That's not to say they haven't bought from rivals before. In fact, under Erik ten Hag, United have purchased Mason Mount from Chelsea. It was even done under previous regimes, including when Juan Mata came to Manchester from London.READ MORE: Chelsea in talks over sensational Sancho deal When Jose Mourinho was asked why he was selling Mata to United in 2014, the Portuguese icon was relaxed about the transfer. "A team can only play with 11 players, not 12," he said.
"If a similar situation happens instead of us, instead of Man United, it's Arsenal or Manchester City or Tottenham or Liverpool, we would do the same. If the offer was the same and Juan desired to go, it would be the same."
