Why sell him to the same club that said no to us when we wanted Rooney?

Why sell him to United ? with a few good signings they could easily be a force again next season.
I also hate this rubbish reason as to why Mata doesn't fit into Mourinho's system. So what if he can't track back well ? i don't remember Mourinho having a problem with Ozil not tracking back. You won't find many attacking centre midfielders who can do both tracking back and creating tons of chances, it's just not realistic.
Look as Oscar, his passing at times has not been up to the standard of what it needs to be. He also doesn't create enough when you think of the position he plays in. I can't help but feel that him constantly tracking back is the biggest reason for these problems in his game right now.
If we can't keep clean sheets because Mata doesn't track back then it's the defense that is the problem, not the attacking midfielder.
This is just a joke of decision, it's become a common trait with us nowadays.”
But results are not backing you up.
Where would we be with him in the team?
Its not just about tracking back, There are many other reasons
Why sell him to the club that wont sell us Rooney? Really? Are we going to be that childish? You wont let me play with your toy so you can not play with mine?
So what if they are a force again? We are a force and i have more then enough faith in our team that we can see off Man Utd no matter how much of a force they are, We did it before when they they were near the hights of their force and we will do it again
Who would you have sold him to? Forget the press, Name me the clubs who have put a offer in for him? Give you a clue its a list of one and they play in Manchester and in red.
We cannot force clubs to put in bids. No club was going to match that figure in January even the mega-rich ones and between now and the end of the season I doubt Mata would have got 90 minutes of football so clubs again would not have put in such a high bid.
The only way Mata would get a game for us is if we arranged a friendly in Kuala Lumpur 3 days before the City game and even then it would be for the last 15 minutes.
We are in a better place in the league then we have been in the last 2 years, Surely that is a sign we are moving in the right way?
