Wenger surprised about Mata’s transfer to United

 

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger, has expressed his surprise over a potential move from Chelsea to Manchester United, involving Juan Mata.

Multiple reports claim that the Blues have accepted a bid for the Spaniard and a deal would be completed as early as this weekend. Wenger, who is a keen admirer of the playmaker, stated that the potential transfer, raises more questions about the January transfer market.
“I am surprised because Juan Mata is a great player and Chelsea sell a great player to a direct opponent,” Wenger said.

“It opens again a little bit the opportunity of this transfer market because Chelsea had already played twice against Man United so they don’t play again.

“They could have sold him last week but it opens at least the opportunity [to question] the dates of this transfer window. Some teams have already played twice against one opponent and some others not. I think if you want to respect the fairness for everybody exactly the same, that should not happen.

“I just think you would want that everybody is on the same level. Chelsea do not make the rules but maybe the rules should be a bit more adapted to more fairness.”
