I have similar feeling.IMO Levy had an influence in the team selection today.
Why Sanchez unless it's a shop window?
Big, big bucks paid for this player.
While Levy may not tell Mourinho to pick who, likely they talk about keeping player value so they would eventually get some value back to reinvest. Similarly is Winks case (different purpose. We want to keep him happy for now). Both suddenly got back into the mix recently after deservedly limited on game time.
