I think most United fans would be very open to a Rooney for Mata + cash deal. United don't really need an attacking midfielder, even without Rooney - Kagawa and Welbeck can both play behind RvP. But if Mata wants the switch, it's a no-brainer ... if it's true that Mourinho considers selling him, he's insane. He was Chelsea's best player last year. Mata-Kagawa-Welbeck playing behind RvP in a 4-2-3-1 would be sensational.
A Mata switch would also kill that stupid Özil rumour ... always found him overrated and if United really shells out 45-50m for him, I'll be pissed. They basically need a box-to-box midfielder to play alongside Carrick and they're good to go ... so throw the money at Modric and stay away from Özil.
