Just because it's not in the media doesn't mean it's not true. The fact it didnt hit the media at the time probably gives it more credence. There was absolutely nothing in the press about us signing Stambouli when that came out of the blue.I saw that this morning on my 'The Athletic' feed ... I'd love to know where the journalist got that from as I cannot recall any link between Jose and United and Sessegnon. It's not backed up with quotes or anything either. And if true, why leave him out of the match-day squad (when he provides the only real cover for the WFs) and have Foyth, Rose and KWP on the bench? I hope Mourinho is a big fan but I doubt it.
In terms of the match day squad on Saturday, I wouldn't read a lot into that. Sessegnon was out warming up with the subs before the match and at HT. If he wasn't in Mourinho's thinking, I doubt he would've been out warming up despite the fact he wasnt on the bench.
