What happened: Sean Sheehan predicted Manchester United would sell Zirkzee for £17.5 million. The remark followed Aston Villa's £65 million agreement with Chelsea.
Why it matters: The comparison casts Manchester United as a club that could receive far less for an outgoing forward than Chelsea. No transfer development involving Zirkzee accompanied the prediction.
By the numbers: The hypothetical £17.5 million fee is £47.5 million below Aston Villa's £65 million package.
What to watch: Concrete negotiations or an accepted offer would turn the prediction into a transfer development.
